HR Administrator - Fixed Term

HR Administrator - Fixed Term for 12 months (with potential to become a permanent role)

A new role has been created as part of the HR team at St Michael's Prep to undertake the administration of HR related activities and to provide staff with a first-class support service.

Experience of working in a previous school setting would be advantageous but is not essential. The role will cover a broad range of HR administration including many aspects of recruitment, onboarding, induction, training, absence, changes to terms and conditions, leavers, work experience and liaison with activity providers and contractors. The role also involves payroll and pensions administration.

This role could be right for you if you enjoy administration, have a proactive approach to work and are able to demonstrate drive and energy in your approach to work. If you thrive working in a busy and demanding environment and take satisfaction from the completion of administrative tasks to a high standard, you could become part of the HR team.

Previous experience in an HR or recruitment role would be advantageous and excellent IT and communication skills are essential. This is a varied and busy role requiring the ability to work flexibly, prioritise your workload and be open to change; no two days are ever the same!
