Everything we do is about empowerment. 

At St Mary’s School in Cambridge, you can be YOU. We’re a unique school community that celebrates diversity and blends different languages, cultures and perspectives to create a true microcosm of the world.

Our HR team is an important part of Business Operations at St Mary’s School, and this is a fantastic opportunity to join us. The team sits within the Bursar’s immediate line management and collaborates with other operational and teaching teams across the School.  

The team is integral to the delivery of an outstanding educational experience for our students, and we work closely with our Senior Leadership Team in respect of recruiting the very best staff and supporting line managers with all aspects of the employment life cycle. 

We can offer professional development including apprenticeships as well as a number of other benefits.

From teaching and pastoral care to school life, everything we do at St Mary’s is for the benefit of our girls. As a single-sex independent school, we enable girls to build self-confidence and gain the knowledge and skills they need to overcome gender stereotypes. Whilst we give them the academic results to get wherever they want to go, we ensure they leave with far, far more – self-belief, passion and a desire to make a difference.

With amazing academic results, a rich pastoral programme and a nurturing and empowering environment, this is a unique place to study – and to work. Whatever your role, you will help to take a remarkable community to the next level and will benefit from significant investment in your personal and professional development. After all, releasing potential is why we’re here.

If you want to be here too, you can enjoy an outstanding career and comprehensive benefits including a contributory pension scheme, 33% discount (pro rata for part-time staff) on school fees, BUPA cash plan, an occupational sickness scheme, free lunches (during term time) and refreshments, a season ticket discount and much more.
