Backwell School is looking to recruit to our Cover-Co-ordinator/HR Admin role, which will be vacant from the 5th November 2026.
This is a part time, job share role, where the post holder will need to work on a Thursday and Friday, 7:15am to 1:45pm (6 hours with a half hour break) each day.
This is a fast-paced, busy role where no two days are the same. Normally the first part of the working day will be to organise cover for absent teachers each day, where absences can either be planned, or known on the morning, and where cover needs to be sorted by 8:30am.
The rest of the day involves a range of Cover administration, and HR administration, which includes monitoring and responding to queries in the cover inbox, monthly payroll inputting or checking, or Bromcom administration.
The post is line managed by, and sits in the same office as the HR Officer.
If you have great attention to detail and organisational skills, as well as being flexible (where as a job share you can sometimes you can cover on different days of the week on occasion), and enjoy a busy working environment, we would love to receive your application.
Please make your application via the Lighthouse Schools Partnership website by Sunday 27 September 2026.
The Lighthouse Schools Partnership is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all in our community to share this commitment. Suitability to work with children and young people will form part of the selection process. As part of the shortlisting process, an online search will be carried out. All appointments will be subject to vetting, including an enhanced DBS check. We are also committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates, particularly those from underrepresented groups.
