Do you thrive on creating systems that improve efficiency, data integrity, and user experience? If so, we are looking for you to join our dynamic HR team as a Systems and Data Officer where you’ll play a key role in ensuring the efficient implementation of a new HR Information System (HRIS) that will transform how we manage our people processes.

As the HR Systems and Data Officer, you will also have the opportunity to develop your employee relations knowledge, supporting the team with ER cases, if you desire.

As a Team, we recently launched our own set of Core Values that really are at the heart of everything we do;

We’re human
We treat people with kindness, respect and dignity. We understand everyone has their own challenges, we show empathy and we actively listen to understand, rather than to just respond

We own it
We take ownership for tasks, and we’re accountable. We’re not afraid to make mistakes, but when we do, we speak up, fix it and ensure it doesn’t happen again! We strive to help others to do the same.

We’re One Team
We help each other as a team and also work together with our internal customers, to ensure we are always supportive and collaborate with them.

We Strive for Excellence
We do things properly, to the absolute best of our abilities and always strive to be better, improve as a team, as individuals and for our employees.

We speak up when we feel things aren’t right, we question things that don’t make sense and strive to continually improve everything we do.

If your values align with ours, please read on as we strive to ensure we recruit the very best people within our Multi Academy Trust.
