We are looking for an experienced HR professional to join the School at an exciting time in its evolution, as we continue to deliver our ambitious plans for growth. Reporting to the Head of HR, the postholder will provide an effective and responsive HR and recruitment service across the Tormead group of schools. Key responsibilities will include managing end-to-end recruitment campaigns, staff onboarding, absence management, employee terms and conditions of employment, preparation of the monthly payroll, and providing professional advice and guidance in HR matters.
No two days are the same, as a result, being flexible in responding to the changing needs of our group of schools will be key. We are seeking a team player with excellent interpersonal and communication skills, who can also work independently, and is highly administratively efficient.

We offer a friendly and inclusive working environment, and our benefits package includes a competitive salary, 5 weeks’ annual leave plus bank holidays, professional development opportunities, free lunch when school is in session, and free use of the school gym.
