You will provide effective HR administration and guidance across the Trust working closely with the Central Team and School Business/Office Managers to ensure an efficient and consistent HR provision to all academies.
Who are we looking for?
This is an exciting opportunity in moving towards the next stage of the development of our HR function. With a varied workload including recruitment, HR advice and project work, you will be adept at multi-tasking and responding in a timely and efficient manner. You will be well organised and have the ability to prioritise and deal with conflicting demands. With experience of HR administration and practices, you will bring this knowledge and experience to this role and be able to apply it in a multi academy trust setting.
One role will be aligned to our secondary academy and the other will be aligned to our 4 primary academies with responsibility for approximately 250 staff each. As well as having responsibility for the areas outlined above, the postholders will work alongside the HR Manager and lead on specific areas. One HR Officer will work on developing and centralising the recruitment, induction and probation processes across the Trust. The other HR Officer will lead on attendance, retention of staff, central training requirements, benefits and reward as central projects.

The post offers challenge, reward and role development for the right candidate. The role is based at a school site each morning and at the Leodis Central Office at Blackgates Primary Academy each afternoon. This will allow successful candidates to experience a varied workload, working closely with a range of colleagues to realise the potential of effective HR across Leodis.
You will be required to work some days outside of term time to ensure that recruitment and payroll processes are completed in line with required deadlines. This will include at least one week during the school summer holidays.
