Job description

Looking for a recruitment role where you can put your experience to good use without needing an HR qualification?

We're recruiting for a Recruitment Administrator to join the central recruitment team of a multi-school trust, supporting recruitment across three schools. If you have recruitment experience and enjoy keeping processes organised, this is a great opportunity to focus on the administrative side of recruitment and onboarding.

Paying 13.73 per hour, this is a six-month temporary opportunity offering just 20 hours per week, term-time only. With no CIPD qualification or formal HR background required, you can put your existing recruitment skills to good use in a varied role supporting school recruitment teams.

What will you be doing as a Recruitment Administrator?

Supporting recruitment administration and onboarding across three schools.
Preparing interview packs and making sure hiring managers have everything they need.
Processing job offers and helping new starters complete their paperwork.
Chasing references and checking that pre-employment documentation is complete.
Processing DBS checks and monitoring progress to support safeguarding requirements.
Managing recruitment queries through a shared inbox and updating systems, including TES.
Posting job adverts and keeping recruitment records accurate and up to date.
Providing wider administrative support, including absence records, special leave forms and welfare calls

What's in it for you?

13.73 per hour for your recruitment experience.
Part-time hours of just 20 hours per week.
Choice of working pattern: either 8am-12pm or 12pm-4pm, subject to the team's requirements.
Term-time-only working, offering a different working pattern to a year-round role.
No HR qualification required your recruitment knowledge and administration experience are what matter.
Variety in your day: support recruitment and onboarding across three schools.
Valuable experience: develop your skills within a central recruitment function and contribute to improving recruitment processes.

Why would you join this company?

You'll be joining the central recruitment team of a multi-school trust, helping bring recruitment administration together across three schools.
You'll work with school-based managers and a range of stakeholders, playing an important part in keeping recruitment processes organised, consistent and running smoothly.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys recruitment but would prefer to focus on administration, coordination and onboarding rather than a traditional recruitment consultant role or a generalist HR position.

What we're looking for

What's essential:

Previous recruitment experience and a good understanding of the recruitment lifecycle.
Experience supporting recruitment administration and onboarding.
Good working knowledge of Microsoft Word and Excel.
Experience maintaining recruitment documentation, tracking outstanding information and keeping records up to date.

What's helpful but not essential:

Experience working in a school, education setting or multi-academy trust.
Familiarity with TES or another recruitment or applicant tracking system.
Experience coordinating DBS checks and pre-employment screening.

The Essentials Pay: 13.73 per hour. Hours: 20 hours per week, Monday to Friday, either 8am 12pm or 12pm 4pm. Working pattern: Term-time only. Location: Confidential multi-school trust, supporting three schools. Job type: Temporary, six-month assignment, expected to run until April. DBS: An enhanced DBS check is required. An existing DBS on the Update Service isn't essential, as a risk-assessed start may be considered while checks are completed, subject to the organisation's safeguarding procedures and approval.
