Job description

As part of the HR team, you will play an important role in maintaining accurate and compliant HR information, support the effective operation of various HR Information Systems (HRIS), and contribute to the delivery of a responsive, efficient and values-led HR service.

The role supports a wide range of transactional HR processes — including onboarding administration, contractual changes, HRIS updates, payroll inputs, benefits administration and routine reporting using HRIS data — ensuring that employees and managers receive timely, supportive and professional HR support.

We are looking for someone with a good standard of education, experience in HR administration and confidence using Human Resource Information Systems (ideally Dayforce or similar) and digital tools. You should be highly organised, accurate in your work and comfortable managing competing priorities. Strong communication skills, a calm and professional manner, and the ability to handle sensitive information with discretion are essential. A knowledge of recruitment practices or regulatory compliance within education or care settings would be an advantage but not essential.

If you are enthusiastic, adaptable and committed to delivering a high quality HR service, we would be delighted to hear from you.
