Detail

The Role

Reporting to the HR Manager, this role is perfect for a HR graduate or someone with experience in a HR administrative role, looking to further develop their career. The HR Assistant will predominantly handle HR administrative tasks, such as maintaining employee records, coordinating recruitment activities, supporting onboarding processes, and ensuring compliance with HR policies and procedures.

This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in an administrative capacity but is also eager to expand their knowledge across broader HR functions in a fast-paced, supportive environment. The school is keen to see this role develop into the role of HR Officer within the next 2 years. This timeline could be accelerated for the right candidate.

The School

Strathallan School is a leading co-educational boarding and day school with an outstanding reputation academically, in sports and in the arts. There are approximately 610 pupils of ages 5 – 18, divided between Strathallan Prep School and Strathallan Senior School. There are three senior girls’ houses, four senior boys’ houses and a junior boarding house. Approximately 65% of the pupils are full boarders.

The school is situated in the beautiful Earn Valley on a self-contained wooded estate of 153 acres at the edge of the village of Forgandenny. Perth is the nearest town some ten minutes away by car and access to the motorways puts Edinburgh (45 mins), Glasgow (1 hr) and the Scottish Highlands within easy reach.

The school is well-resourced with a mixture of traditional and modern buildings. The main building, a Grade B listing, was once a large private mansion, bought by the school’s founder, Harry Riley, in 1920 when he moved the school from its original 1913 location in Bridge of Allan.

The school exists to provide an inclusive all-round education for its pupils in a nurturing and caring environment. Our aim is to engage pupils to be their best and prepare them for the demands of further study and future work in an increasingly diverse and global university and employment market. We do this through opportunities that inspire and challenge, and by expecting effort and hard work from each pupil to achieve their best, based on the values of respect, kindness, honestly, hard work, humility and excellence, all underpinned by the fundamental value of love.
