HR and Operations Coordinator (Central services) job summary
About You:
You’ll enjoy improving systems and processes, while also providing practical and responsive support to people across the Trust. You’ll thrive in a varied and fast-moving role where no two days are likely to look the same, and you’ll feel comfortable balancing day-to-day operational demands with longer-term improvement and development work. You’ll be adaptable and able to respond positively to changing priorities and emerging needs.
You’ll be naturally proactive, solutions-focused and curious, with the ability to think ahead, manage competing demands and stay organised within a busy and evolving environment. You’ll be confident working at pace, comfortable navigating change, and able to prioritise effectively while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail.
You’ll be a strong communicator with the ability to build positive and professional working relationships across the Trust. You’ll work collaboratively as part of a wider team, while also being confident working independently, using initiative and managing your own workload with autonomy.
Purpose of the Role
This role sits at the centre of the Trust’s HR (People) and central services function, providing administration and coordination, systems support and process improvement to ensure efficient, consistent and compliant operations across all schools.
The postholder will be comfortable managing competing priorities, responding to reactive work, and adapting to new ways of working, while maintaining a high level of accuracy and confidentiality.
Working as part of a collaborative HR and central team, the postholder will play a key role in maintaining and improving HR, H&S and digital systems, coordinating core processes, and supporting schools through clear guidance and responsive support. The role will act as a central point of coordination, working closely with colleagues across HR and the wider Trust to deliver effective outcomes. The role will also act as the Trust’s designated Data Protection Officer (DPO), coordinating data protection processes with appropriate escalation for complex matters.
The role will also sit at the heart of a wider programme of HR and Operations transformation and continuous improvement. The postholder will be expected to operate effectively in a fast-paced and evolving environment, balancing reactive operational demands with longer-term system and process improvements, and contributing to the development of more efficient, consistent and scalable ways of working across the Trust.
This is a developing role within a transforming HR function and will evolve over time in response to organisational need, system development and continuous improvement priorities.
In return, we offer:
- A supportive and close-knit HR team where your ideas will be valued.
- Hybrid working and term-time working options
- A wellbeing package, including access to an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).
- Bluelight Discount eligibility
If you’re passionate about people, enjoy improving processes, and want to help create a positive working culture across our schools, we’d love to hear from you.
