Job overview
Full Time, all year round.
The Dixons Academies Trust is built around the high-performing Dixons City Academy which opened 27 years ago as one of the first state-funded independent schools in the country. In recent years our family of schools in Bradford has grown to eight, and now comprises three primaries, four secondaries and one all-through 4-19 school. It includes both sponsored turnaround academies addressing education failure, as well as brand new free schools meeting growing demand locally.
We have a solid platform from which we continue to build. Dixons’ first school in Leeds, Trinity Chapeltown, opened for primary school students in September 2017. Dixons Trinity Chapeltown secondary opening is planned for September 2018, followed by a shared Post 16 provision in Bradford a year later. We have achieved a great deal in a relatively short time, but such is the culture of expectation here that we know our greatest impact is yet to come.
Our mission is to challenge educational and social disadvantage by establishing high-performing nonfaith academies which promote learning, develop character, value diversity and build cultural capital. By the age of 18 we want every student to have the choice of university or a high quality apprenticeship.
We are now looking for a skilled HR Officer to provide support and develop the Trust’s central function through developing policies and managing procedures.
The successful candidate will be passionate about HR and highly efficient, while retaining confidentiality and integrity at all times. We expect you to have knowledge of various HR functions including payroll and staff benefits. You must be a committed and approachable individual and be adaptable and flexible in what is a newly created role.
You will report directly to the Chief Operating Officer for the Trust, providing HR support on specific projects as well as administrative tasks.
The goal will be to provide excellent assistance and support to key points of contacts at each academy in the Trust as well as to the central team.
Dixons is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful applicants will be required to undertake a DBS Enhanced check.

At Dixons, we know that great teaching begins with great wellbeing, which is why our teachers enjoy a nine-day fortnight, giving them regular time to rest, reflect and recharge. It’s one of the many ways we’re reimagining what it means to work and to thrive in education. Our associate staff also benefit from flexible working, helping everyone in our community bring their best and most authentic selves to work.
We are a well-established school trust of 16 schools and a college serving the communities of Bradford, Leeds, Liverpool and Greater Manchester. United by a mission to challenge educational and social disadvantage in the North, we want every young person who leaves us at 18 to have genuine choice, whether that’s university or a high-quality apprenticeship.
Our schools may each have their own character, but they’re all built on the same three values: we work hard on the things that matter, with humility; we are good and kind; and we are motivated by mastery, autonomy and purpose. These values guide how we teach, how we lead, and how we treat one another.
We are a diverse family of primary, secondary, all-through schools and a college, united by a shared drive to transform education across the North. We focus on sponsored academies where we can turn challenge into success, and on new free schools that meet the growing demand for excellence. Our diversity is our strength, balancing shared alignment with the freedom to innovate.
We create joyful, rigorous, high-performing schools that maximise achievement, celebrate diversity, build character and enrich cultural capital. Every child is entitled to a knowledge-rich curriculum that opens doors, broadens horizons and helps them understand and shape the world.
We believe success begins with people. Nearly 80% of our budget is invested in talent because our teachers and leaders are our greatest strength. We place our best people where they can make the biggest difference, remove unnecessary barriers, and give them the training and freedom to grow. We see talent not as fixed, but as something cultivated through feedback, curiosity and purpose.
Together, we’re building something special: a trust that delivers exceptional education, nurtures its people and changes lives across the North.
