We are looking for a highly co-ordinated and organised HR Manager to join our supportive and established administration team at The Brian Clarke CofE Academy and provide a high level of professional and administrative support. Working within a growing organisation, the role is to provide great customer service to current and potential members of staff. It involves co-ordinating and directing queries in the right direction to colleagues, requiring great people skills. The administrative element of the role will need great attention to detail and accuracy for entering information into the management information system, producing offer letters and contracts of employment. We are able to offer professional development and opportunities to grow in this role as our organisation grows.

We are looking for someone who:

·        Has CIPD Level 5

·        To be responsible for an outstanding Human Resources provision to the The Brian Clarke Academy.

·        To administer the employment of everyone who works for the school.

The school specific systems are likely to be something the successful candidate will need to learn, but by already having strong managerial skills and a proactive approach to work, this should not be a problem.

You will be working within a team of exceptional staff who are striving to achieve the school’s vision and work together to create a genuinely outstanding school and shape the totality of the Brian Clarke experience for our young people.

Working for The Brian Clarke CofE Academy means that you would be part of the Cranmer Education Trust, a successful, growing Trust which prides itself on looking after its people, offering a high level of support and access to expertise. This is an excellent time to join the team, as we develop collaborative structures and systems to enhance and support our growing family of schools.  

Alongside The Brian Clarke CofE Academy, the Trust is made up of primary and secondary schools across Oldham and Rochdale. The Trust also incorporates a teacher training school and the East Manchester Teaching Hub and a MFL hub, which support the training and development of new and existing teachers across the Northwest of England.

We offer: 

·        Opportunities for professional development in a growing Trust.

·        A strong school community that places children, families and staff at the heart of everything we do.
