HR Assistant

Permanent, all year round, 37 hours per week

Salary: Band 7/8, scale point 11 – 22, £25,974 - £31,372

We are an expanding Multi-Academy Trust that currently includes thirteen academies; ten primary schools, an all-through primary-to-secondary academy, an alternative provision academy and a specialist setting for children/young people who suffer from social, emotional and mental health difficulties. We also work closely alongside and in collaboration with a Local Authority maintained nursery, Canterbury Nursery School.

Exceed Academies Trust have an excellent reputation within the local and wider community and we are proud to lead the Bradford Teaching School Hub, supporting all schools in Bradford. We also boast an Outstanding SCITT provision, which has an exceptional track record of providing and supporting teachers to grow and develop their careers, through the initial teacher training programme.

Due to an internal promotion within our central HR team, we would like to appoint a HR Assistant to work within our busy HR team, which is based at the Trust head office at Horton Park Primary School in Bradford.  However, this will be a hybrid role and may also involve some travel to the other academies within Exceed Academies Trust.

Supporting and working alongside the Chief HR Officer, HR Business Partner, HR Advisor and HR Officer, the HR Assistant role will involve all aspects of HR administration, with an element of payroll administration, including creating HR documents, contracts of employment, letters and policies on behalf of the Trust as well as assisting our schools with any administrative queries they may have.

An integral part of an outstanding HR team with an enviable reputation, this position is most suited to someone who truly wants to make a difference to the lives of the young people of Bradford. The right candidate will be a strong team player, proactive and innovative, with a desire to challenge the norm. Previous HR administrative experience is essential, as is a desire to provide the best possible HR support to our schools.
