Welcome to our school,

Broomfield SILC is a generic special school for pupils aged 2 to 19 years with 3 sites: our main site and 2 partnership sites at Windmill Primary and Rodillian Secondary. The SILC is based in the South of Leeds and caters for a wide range of needs from moderate learning difficulties; severe learning difficulties; complex and multiple learning needs; Autism and social and emotional and mental health needs. Some students have additional needs – physical; medical; speech and language; visual, hearing or sensory impairment. We are a very popular choice for parents and carers and currently have 228 pupils on roll.

Broomfield secured a ‘Good’ Ofsted in March 2023 where inspectors commented that leaders have ‘high ambitions’ and ‘high aspirations for all pupils’ and that ‘staff are proud to work in our school’. I am very proud of our school community where staff are committed to supporting young people to fulfil their potential and prepare them fully for their future, particularly focusing on communication, independence, and emotional regulation.

We are looking for an experienced and knowledgeable HR Manager to work with the Senior Leadership Team and Governing body to provide strategic and operational HR for the SILC. You will need to be an excellent communicator, act with a high level of confidentiality and be resilient. The role will require you to work independently and as part of a team to provide solution focused advice and guidance that adheres to our LCC policies. The successful candidate will be professional, have excellent attention to detail and will manage challenging situations effectively. They will be able to use initiative to make frequent decisions thinking creatively and making recommendations based on policy and the needs of the school. They will be able to manage conflictive demands and will understand all HR processes to provide advice and guidance to all key stakeholders.

We can offer:

• A welcoming, caring school with supportive colleagues and parents
• A commitment to professional development
• A workplace that listens to all staff and values their skillset and contribution

We are looking for:

• Experience of working with senior management to shape and influence the delivery of school priorities in relation to HR
• Experience of building effective and collaborative relationships with all stakeholders to understand future challenges and deliver effective solutions
• Experience of producing reports and extracting data from various sources
• Experience of dealing with confidential and sensitive data and complying with GDPR guidelines
• A good standard of education and relevant qualifications (at least grade C or equivalent in Maths & English at GSCE level).

• A high level of resilience
• A strong sense of teamwork and professional pride
• A positive, solution-focused approach
