Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our small HR Team, based at Fairfield College in Dilton Marsh. The HR Admin Support role is key to the smooth day to day running of the HR function across the Trust. The successful candidate will ideally have experience of Human Resources processes, including safer recruitment, staff training and staff absence management. You will work closely with the Head of HR and the HR Officer, along with other Trust leaders and managers, to support on a wide range of employment related issues. You will have excellent IT and organisational skills along with a keen eye for detail and you will be an effective communicator with a friendly manner.
You will record and monitor staff absence on the HR MIS system and you will update and maintain accurate HR records while supporting managers with day-to-day HR matters, maintaining confidentiality at all times.
The successful candidate will support with arranging interview days, being the first point of contact for candidates and interviewing managers. This role is key in the safe recruitment and induction of new staff and the postholder will carry out identity checks on interview days while ensuring that the process runs smoothly.
Whilst experience in HR would be advantageous, it is not essential as full training will be given and we can consider offering a credible HR qualification via an apprenticeship scheme.
The successful candidate will be organised, with a keen eye for detail and the ability to work independently, prioritising workload to ensure an efficient support of the HR function. The post reports directly to the Head of HR but the postholder will work directly with other members of the Trust management team supporting the wider workforce across all areas of the business with HR related matters.
This is a term time only post and there is an expectation that you will be available to work flexibly for at least 2 weeks (number of weeks can be negotiated) during college holiday periods, with at least 1 additional week to be worked during the college summer holidays. There is flexibility with working days during closure periods.
Fairfield Trust is an independent education provider and as such, it can be usual to have around 2 weeks additional leave over the summer (compared to most Wiltshire schools).
The postholder will be required to undertake mandatory safeguarding training courses and a DBS application at the relevant level prior to starting in post.
