Location: Bracknell, Berkshire
Position: School HR and Recruitment Administrator
Start Date: ASAP
Salary: Dependent on experience
Contract: Full-time, Permanent

A people-focused role at the heart of education

A welcoming and ambitious secondary school in Bracknell is looking for a proactive HR and Recruitment Administrator to join its central business support team. The school has a strong commitment to creating a positive working environment for staff and ensuring that every new employee receives a smooth and professional introduction to the school.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with HR or recruitment administration experience who enjoys working with people, managing processes and keeping information accurate. You’ll work closely with the HR Manager and senior leadership team, supporting recruitment from the initial vacancy through to appointment and onboarding.

What will your day look like?

The role is varied and involves supporting the full employee lifecycle. You’ll be responsible for coordinating recruitment administration, maintaining staff records and helping ensure that all employment documentation is completed correctly.

Your duties will include:

• Advertising vacancies and managing incoming applications.

• Arranging interviews and communicating with candidates.

• Preparing interview documentation and appointment paperwork.

• Supporting pre-employment checks, including references and DBS processes.

• Maintaining accurate and confidential personnel records.

• Assisting with staff contracts, letters and onboarding documentation.

• Updating HR databases and monitoring outstanding checks.

• Responding to routine HR enquiries from staff and applicants.

• Supporting the HR team with general administrative tasks and deadlines.

The person we’re looking for

You’ll ideally have previous experience in HR, recruitment or personnel administration, with excellent organisation and communication skills. Confidentiality is essential, as you’ll regularly handle sensitive employee information.

Experience working within a school or education setting would be highly desirable, particularly knowledge of safer recruitment procedures and school-based HR systems. However, candidates with strong transferable HR experience from another sector are encouraged to apply.

If you enjoy helping people, keeping processes organised and contributing to a busy school community, this could be a fantastic opportunity.

An enhanced DBS check will be required in line with the role.
