Queen’s Gate is a happy, bustling GSA day school for girls aged 4 –18, ideally situated in South Kensington to take advantage of the many educational and cultural opportunities on offer.
We wish to appoint from March 2025 a well-qualified HR Officer to join our operations staff. Reporting to the Bursar, this role will work closely with her, the Principal and other senior leaders to ensure the school is able to recruit and retain outstanding staff, and so support us in our aims to deliver an excellent educational experience. This position has particular responsibilities for ensuring the School’s fulfilment of our vital duties relating to safer recruitment and the safeguarding of pupils. This is a new role, and would suit someone who is looking to move towards more senior HR positions in the future.
The draft job description is attached, but may be adjusted to take into account the expertise of the successful candidate. While we anticipate this role is likely to be full-time, as an inclusive employer, we would be interested in hearing from those who would like part-time or more flexible hours. It should be noted that this role is expected to be performed onsite – we are based on Queen’s Gate itself, conveniently located halfway between South Kensington and Gloucester Road Underground Stations. The successful candidate will be joining a warm, supportive community, with the opportunity to form close, positive working relationships with both teaching and operations staff.
