Job overview
The Role
HR Administrator – Part-time (equivalent to 3 days per week)
An opportunity has arisen to join the St Michael’s Prep team to help shape the transition of systems and processes, improving the effectiveness of the HR function and offering the staff an improved first-class support service.
Experience of working in a previous school setting would be advantageous but is not essential, however, strong HR administration skills and HR knowledge are essential as the role will cover a broad range of HR 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 successful applicant will work as part of the small HR team and will also be involved in supporting our payroll and pensions administration processes.
We are implementing new systems to streamline our recruitment and HR processes, therefore an opportunity to shape the way we work as a function is available. Previous experience in an HR role, the ability to understand and question data, keep calm under pressure and possess excellent IT and communication skills are all essential to be successful in this role.
This is a busy team, and the role is varied requiring the ability to work flexibly, prioritise your own workload and be open to change; no two days are the same!
The working pattern will be agreed between the successful applicant and the HR Manager; flexibility to support workload and interviews which start early or finish later would be required from time to time. Holidays are predominantly taken in school holiday periods.
Salary will be circa £28,000 FTE dependent on qualifications and experience.
We reserve the right to interview and / or appoint prior to the closing date.

Values and vision
Joy is at the heart of life at St Michael’s: the joy of our children, the joy of our community and the Joy and Wonder of Learning. St Michael’s is driven by a passionate belief in the value and power of learning: for children, for teachers, for parents and everyone who comes into contact with us.
St Michael’s is an inclusive school where each individual is known, valued and celebrated. We want our children to embrace each day and be inspired by their lessons and co-curricular activities.
We believe in providing a rounded education where children can pursue their passions, challenge themselves and enjoy a creative and innovative curriculum. We are continually looking for ways to improve our curriculum and facilities, making them more vibrant, inspiring and in step with our ever-changing world. Access to our 100 acre site plays an important role in the pupils’ learning and growth, developing them into mindful and knowledgeable citizens who will care for their environments throughout their lives.
Our growth mindset approach to teaching and learning ensures that every child understands the value of failure in their path to success. St Michael’s children are not afraid to get things wrong, or judgemental of others’ mistakes, and this is something they carry with them.
Our school motto: perseverantia, sapientia, gratia (perseverance, wisdom and gratitude) encapsulates our ethos of striving for success and using our skills to make a difference. These values are instilled daily throughout the St Michael’s journey.
We strongly believe that in order to teach our children about the importance of life-long learning, we must first model this ourselves. Our staff undergo regular professional development and parents are also invited to a range of workshops on relevant topics.
We are confident that when our pupils move on from St Michael’s, they will use the wisdom, skills and values that we taught them to make a positive change in the world.
