Are you an experienced administrator with an interest in HR? If so, an exciting opportunity has arisen for an HR Administrator to join our growing team of professional and dedicated staff at Mayfield School. Experience of HR and/or working in a school is desirable but not essential. You will play a key role in providing a professional, efficient and proactive HR service working with the school HR Manager, school SLT and central HR team.

We are looking for someone with excellent interpersonal skills who can communicate effectively at all levels. You will be comfortable working productively in a fast paced environment managing multiple tasks including the following:

• Recruitment administration
• Maintaining the Single Central Record
• Administering DBS checks
• Staff absence administration and conducting return to work meetings
• Minuting meetings.

Candidates should be willing to undertake CIPD level 3 or 5 if not already held. Experience of working with students is desirable and at interview, you will be able to clearly display a commitment to the pastoral care of students in the school.

* This post is advertised at Grade 3; however, appointment at Grade 4 (£34,434 - £41,771) may be considered for an exceptional candidate who can demonstrate the required knowledge, skills and experience at that level.

Mayfield School is a special school for 310 pupils aged between 2 and 19 with a wide range of special educational needs and disabilities including autism. Mayfield is a Unicef Rights Respecting School on a journey to achieve gold status.

The school is split across two sites - Wheeler Street in Lozells (co‑located with Holte School and Lozells Junior and Infant School and Nursery) and Heathfield Road in Handsworth. Successful applicants can be asked to work at either site depending on the needs of the school.

• A collaborative and inclusive culture
• A committed, hardworking team who strive to provide the best education for all students
• Comprehensive induction and probation support and regular opportunities for professional development and growth.
• Access to a generous pension scheme known as the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) which provides a secure pension and immediate life cover.
• Generous annual leave entitlement for support staff based on length of service, starting at 29 days pro‑rata, rising to 32 at 5 years’ plus service and 34 following 10 years’ plus service.
• We offer an Employee Assistance Programme called BHSF which provides:

• 24/7 access to a GP from anywhere in the world, a telephone helpline and face to face e‑consultation service
• Private prescription service
• Expert and practical legal advice
• 24/7 Confidential helpline for support with emotional matters;
• Money management support.
• Offers and discounts for high street shops

You will be supported in your role by the school leadership team, the central HR team and other HR professionals from across the Trust and attend Trust wide HR group meetings regularly, in addition to having individual regular contact and support from the central HR team.

The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils and expect all staff to share this commitment. Successful candidates will be subject to all necessary pre‑employment checks, including an enhanced DBS, Childcare Disqualification (where applicable), qualifications, medical fitness, identity and right to work. All applicants will be required to provide two suitable references. An online search (and a prohibition check for teachers) will also be carried out as part of due diligence on all short‑listed candidates.
