This is an exciting opportunity for an organised HR professional to become part of a busy school where people are at the heart of its success. Working closely with the School Business Manager and senior leaders, the successful candidate will help deliver an efficient HR service, supporting staff across every stage of the employee lifecycle while ensuring the school remains compliant with employment and safeguarding requirements.
The role would suit someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in providing a professional, responsive and people-focused HR service.
