Your role:

Join Thomas Deacon Education Trust as our HR Administrator and play a key role in supporting staff across our academies.

This is a part time, flexible hybrid role. The role is fixed term for one year initially due to the pending merger with Keys Academies Trust, but there may be potential for this to be extended or be made permanent.

We believe in the power of transformation—of people, systems and culture—and we’re proud to foster a workplace where diversity is celebrated and excellence is the standard.
