Bacon's is a thriving community that is welcoming of students and staff of all faiths, and those of none. The College has a strong ethos that is shared by all, and we deliberately and explicitly link the gospel of Christ with the daily life of the school through daily collective worship led by our college Chaplain. Bacon's College is part of United Learning, a large, and growing, group of schools aiming to offer a life-changing education to children and young people across England. United Learning is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

The role of Cluster HR Administrator involves a wide range of HR administrative duties including but not limited to recruitment, safeguarding checks, absence management, and payroll administration. The role will ensure the smooth running of the HR administrative processes by contributing to excellent communication with all relevant cluster stakeholders.

You will have a friendly and polite manner and will enjoy the opportunity to engage with staff across the four schools. Outstanding interpersonal skills are essential in support of building excellent relationships with staff at all levels, whilst always ensuring that safeguarding practices for a safer workforce are consistently applied and monitored. You will have the ability to input data accurately as well as to produce reports for the senior leadership team and governors as needed.

You will be joining a friendly and supportive team that is hard-working and close-knit with a shared mission of providing excellence to the schools that it serves.

As a Group, we can reward our staff better: with good career opportunities, better pay, benefits, and ultimately, the satisfaction of helping children to succeed. We invest in our staff wellbeing. Our academies each have at least eight INSET days per year (with three of those solely dedicated to planning), and an ongoing group-wide wellbeing programme.
