Job overview

Interview date: Thursday 9th January 2025

Wilmslow High School

School age range: 11-18

Number on roll: approx. 2,200 (including 500 sixth form)

We hope to appoint from 1 February 2025 but will be flexible: we recognise that the right candidate may need a longer notice period.

This is a fulltime, full-year appointment.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced HR professional to take on a role that combines involvement in the strategic development of the organisation with the need to ensure operational functions and responsibilities are carried out highly effectively. 

The successful candidate will be a strong strategic leader and team player and will have:

  • Significant experience of working with HR procedures and policies

  • Strong interpersonal skills and high levels of emotional intelligence
  • Excellent organisational skills with the ability to prioritise workload and meet deadlines


We offer a happy and caring environment rooted in our core values, in which staff and students can flourish, whilst challenging ourselves to pursue excellence for all our students. The school is set in extensive grounds, ideally positioned between the thriving city of Manchester and the open countryside of the Peak District.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff to respect this commitment. A consideration of the person’s suitability to work alongside children is part of the selection process. 

If invited for interview, you will be:

  • asked to complete a self-declaration form answering questions in relation to any criminal record or other information that would make them unsuitable to work with children.
  • subject to an online search. This is to help identify any incidents or issues that have happened, and are publicly available online, which we may wish to explore at interview.

If successful, you will be subject to:

  • an enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service.
  • pre-employment checks which will include References, Health, Right to Work in UK, DBS and a Declaration that neither they nor anyone who lives in the same household is a disqualified person under the Childcare (Disqualification) Regulations 2009.

Current or previous employers will be contacted and information requested will include:

  • Disciplinary offences relating to children, including any for which the penalty is ‘time expired’
  • Whether the applicant has been the subject of any child protection concerns

About Wilmslow High School

Rated as Good by Ofsted in 2019, Wilmslow High School is heavily oversubscribed in both the 11 – 16 sector and the sixth form. Student numbers have increased with more and more students from outside the town and from the independent sector of education seeking places. As the only state secondary school in the town, it enjoys good relationships with the partner primary schools in Wilmslow, Handforth and Alderley Edge, from where the majority of our students come
