A successful and well-established secondary school in Westminster is seeking to appoint an experienced HR Officer to join its dedicated support staff team from September 2026. This is a full-time, permanent opportunity offering the chance to become part of a collaborative school where people are genuinely valued and where a strong HR function plays an important role in supporting both staff and the wider school community.
Working closely with senior leaders, the successful candidate will contribute to the delivery of an efficient, professional and people-focused HR service. From recruitment and onboarding through to employee records, compliance and day-to-day HR support, this is a varied position that offers real responsibility and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
This opportunity would suit an organised HR professional who enjoys building positive working relationships, thrives in a busy environment and takes pride in delivering an excellent employee experience.
The HR Officer will support the day-to-day delivery of HR operations, ensuring processes are completed efficiently, accurately and in line with current employment legislation and safeguarding requirements.
Key responsibilities will include:
Coordinating recruitment campaigns, interview arrangements and safer recruitment checks
Managing onboarding, induction and probation processes for new employees
Preparing contracts, offer letters and contractual documentation
Maintaining accurate HR records and personnel files
Supporting employee lifecycle processes, including contract changes and leavers
Monitoring staff absence records and supporting wellbeing initiatives
Providing first-line HR advice to managers and employees
Ensuring HR policies and procedures are implemented consistently across the school
Assisting with HR reporting and continuous improvement projects
The school has established a strong reputation for both academic achievement and the positive culture it has created for its staff. Senior leaders are committed to investing in their people, recognising that a supportive and engaged workforce is fundamental to delivering the best outcomes for pupils.
Professional development is actively encouraged, and support staff are valued as an integral part of the school's continued success. Employees benefit from a collaborative working environment where teamwork, respect and continuous improvement are embedded within the school's culture.
The school is keen to hear from HR professionals who are confident managing a varied workload and enjoy working in a fast-paced, people-focused environment.
Applicants should have previous experience within an HR or People function, excellent organisational skills and a strong understanding of confidentiality, employment processes and HR administration. The ability to build positive relationships with colleagues at all levels, prioritise competing demands and communicate professionally is essential.
Previous experience working within education would be welcomed but is by no means essential.
