HR Manager - Southwark | Temporary & Sickness Cover...

Marchant Recruitment
London

Location: Southwark, London
Contract: Temporary / Daily Supply
⏰ Hours: Full-time or Part-time
Start: ASAP
Pay: Competitive daily rate depending on experience

Experienced School HR Manager?

Schools don't always have the luxury of waiting several weeks for HR support.

Across Southwark, we regularly receive requests from schools looking for experienced HR Managers who can start immediately — whether they need sickness cover, additional support during a busy period or temporary cover while recruiting permanently.

We're therefore looking to hear from experienced School HR Managers and Senior HR Professionals who are available for temporary work.

Typical Assignments

Depending on the school's requirements, you could be responsible for:

  • Managing the day-to-day HR function

  • Providing advice on employee relations matters

  • Managing recruitment and safer recruitment processes

  • Overseeing DBS and compliance checks

  • Maintaining the Single Central Record

  • Supporting absence, probation and performance processes

  • Managing HR policies and procedures

  • Supporting payroll and employee records

  • Advising senior leaders on HR matters

  • Managing or supporting an HR administration team

What You’ll Need

This role requires someone who can hit the ground running, so previous HR management experience within a school is essential.

You must also have:

  • A clear DBS

  • A DBS on the Update Service, or one issued within the last 6 months

  • Previous school-based HR experience

  • Strong knowledge of school HR procedures and safer recruitment

  • Excellent communication and organisational skills

  • The flexibility to take on full-time or part-time temporary assignments

Flexible Work Available

Assignments can vary from short-term sickness cover to longer temporary placements, depending on what our schools need.

If you're an experienced School HR Manager looking for flexibility and are available immediately, we'd like to hear from you.

If you are shortlisted, you will be contacted within 72 hours.
