About the role

As HR Coordinator at Florence Bilingual School, you will play a pivotal role in supporting our people and ensuring the smooth and compliant operation of all HR processes. Reporting to the Business Manager, you will provide proactive HR support to the School Leadership Team (SLT) and staff across the full employee lifecycle, from recruitment, onboarding, and payroll coordination to compliance, employee relations, and HR administration.

You will work closely with colleagues across the school and wider Cognita network, ensuring HR practices align with Italian labour law and Cognita standards. With around 100 employees on site, this is a hands-on role that requires excellent organisation, strong interpersonal skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with professionalism and care.

This is a permanent, full-time, term-time only role (38 hours per week across five days), with flexibility in working hours. The postholder will also work two additional days during the summer break to support key HR processes.

Who we are looking for

We are seeking a highly organised and proactive HR professional with a genuine passion for supporting people and creating a positive workplace culture.

We are seeking a qualified HR professional with at least two years of experience in a similar role, ideally within a multinational or educational environment. You should hold a relevant degree (e.g., Labour Relations, Psychology, or Law) and have a solid understanding of Italian labour regulations. Fluency in both Italian and English is essential. The ideal candidate is proactive, empathetic, and highly organised, with strong problem-solving skills and a commitment to confidentiality. Experience with the ANINSEI contract is a plus.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys variety and autonomy, and who takes pride in providing exceptional HR support within a vibrant and supportive school community.
