Qin Recruitment are working with a large Secondary School based in Dagenham, Essex. They are now looking to appoint a HR & Payroll Officer on a permanent basis.

This is a great opportunity to join a highly successful school as part of a friendly and very hard-working department. Established as a brand-new school in 2002, we moved into our award-winning £30 million accommodation in 2005. The school is located within easy reach of central London via the District Line and yet just minutes by car from the Essex countryside.

The school’s most recent OFSTED report described the school as good with outstanding leadership and governance and outstanding spiritual, moral, social, and cultural provision; this judgement was reinforced at our last Section 8 inspection in November 2017. 

Previous Payroll experience is essential as is a sound HR knowledge. This will ideally come from a school’s background, but other sectors will be considered.
