We are seeking a capable, enthusiastic and highly organised HR Officer to join our professional and supportive HR team. This is an excellent opportunity to build or develop a career in HR within a busy school environment. Reporting to the Head of HR, you will play an important role in the smooth running of HR operations across all areas. You will deliver high-quality HR administration, including end-to-end recruitment, pre-employment checks, onboarding, contracts of employment, absence management, payroll preparation and accurate HR record-keeping.
We welcome applications from experienced administrators and HR professionals, as well as graduates or early-career candidates looking to take a first step into HR. We are looking for someone organised, discreet and proactive, with strong communication skills, excellent attention to detail and a genuine commitment to delivering a high standard of service.
Experience in HR, recruitment, payroll or a regulated environment would be advantageous, but strong transferable skills and a clear interest in developing in HR are equally valued. A CIPD Level 3 qualification, or willingness to work towards one, would be welcomed.
This is a full-time position based on site in Guildford. We offer a competitive salary, five weeks’ annual leave plus bank holidays, professional development opportunities, free lunch during term time and free use of the school gym.
