HR Officer job summary

We have an exciting opportunity to join the HR team at Infinity Academies Trust as an HR Officer, initially on a one-year fixed-term basis, with the potential to become permanent.

Reporting to the HR Manager, this key role will provide a wide range of day-to-day transactional and operational HR support to staff and leaders across the Trust. Key responsibilities will include administering the employee lifecycle, supporting recruitment processes, managing absence administration, assisting with monthly payroll activities, maintaining the Single Central Record (SCR), and ensuring confidential personnel records are kept accurately and securely.

This role requires excellent organisational skills and the ability to confidently manage multiple priorities. You will have the opportunity to build strong working relationships at all levels across the Trust. Experience gained within the education sector or a local government environment would be advantageous, although this is not essential.

Infinity Academies Trust is a family of 20 primary schools across Lincolnshire. The Trust's Central Team provides expert support in estates management, finance, governance, HR, and operations, enabling schools to focus on delivering the highest standards of education.

The Role Includes:

  • Acting as the first point of contact for employee HR queries.
  • Providing HR advice and guidance to line managers and headteachers across the Trust in line with established policies and procedures.
  • Supporting a range of HR functions, including recruitment, onboarding, performance management, and employee relations.
  • Assisting with the implementation and review of HR policies under the direction of the HR Manager, ensuring compliance with employment legislation and educational sector requirements.
  • Working closely with staff to foster a positive and supportive working environment.
  • Maintaining accurate employee records within the Trust's HR system and producing HR data, metrics, and reports as required by the HR Manager to support decision-making.
  • Maintaining individual Single Central Records across Trust sites using approved templates and software.
  • Supporting absence management processes under the guidance of the HR Manager.
  • Supporting all aspects of the Trust's payroll processes.

We are looking to recruit someone for 37 hours per week, 52 weeks per year with 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays) pro rata for the fixed term period of one year. This role is based at our Head Office in Boston, Lincolnshire. On completion of initial training, there will be the opportunity to work from home up to 2 days per week depending upon the needs of the organisation and determined through workflow and with discussion with the line manager.

Infinity Academies Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to enhanced disclosure and barring service, barred check list, references and medical checks. Pre-employment checks are in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education.
