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 are committed to making a difference where it matters most. We work to improve the future for thousands of children in the parts of the north of England where young lives are adversely affected by social and educational disadvantage.
We believe that every child, regardless of their background, should be able to fulfil their academic potential and go on to thrive amongst the demands and expectations of 21st century life.
We are ambitious for every child we teach and want to see a society that benefits from the contributions of our well-educated and empowered young people who come through our network of high-performing non-faith academies. We make a difference to young lives by being that difference and defying the disadvantage we see.
Founded by Dixons City Academy, the former City Technology College, our Trust has almost thirty years’ experience of running our own affairs. Although our original sponsor, Lord Kalms of the then Dixons Stores Group, still takes a keen interest in us, we are now self-sponsoring and independent. We remain true to our original aims, however, and our ambition remains the same: to transform education in our region.
Our family of schools includes primary, secondary all-through and sixth form. We focus exclusively on sponsored turnaround academies to address educational failure and on new free schools to meet growing demand. Our diversity is a real strength of our model, balancing common alignment with the autonomy to innovate. Our start-ups are all graded Outstanding and our sponsored academies have all climbed at least two Ofsted grades with our backing.
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.
