This is an exciting opportunity to use your first class organisational and administrative skills to play a key HR role in a renowned and well-regarded school.  

Reporting to the Director of Finance and Operations, this key role will provide administrative HR support for recruitment, staff induction and the employee life cycle, as well as liaising with the GDST payroll department and assisting with first line HR enquiries.
