HR Manager School (80-100%)

Rapperswil-Jona is a lively city by Lake Zurich with a primary school that the city is proud of. About 3,000 children and adolescents are taught and supported in 15 managed school units and 10 care locations.
The long-standing position holder is retiring. Your chance to rethink HR in the school sector. We are looking for you as an

HR Manager School (80-100%) starting January 2027.

What you will accomplish

• You are a member of the school management and the point of contact for the school president, the principal, the school management, and the management of care offers in all personnel matters.
• You will guide the experienced HR team professionally, acting as a role model and sparring partner, ensuring professional personnel management:
  • Personnel planning, recruitment, and onboarding — from the first advertisement to a successful start.
  • Case management: professionally accompany teaching staff and employees in challenging situations.
  • Conduct conflict discussions clearly, fairly, and solution-oriented.
  • Collaborate closely with the head of the administration personnel service; together shape a modern personnel policy for the whole city.
  • Develop concepts and regulations (further) and ensure that they are also lived.
  • Further develop benefits that truly resonate.

What you bring

With your completed HR-specialty training and solid knowledge in personnel management, labor law, and case management, you are well-equipped for this position.
You are passionate about accompanying people in challenging situations and can easily navigate digital tools.
However, what really interests us: You are someone who wants to actively shape things? Who shows attitude, even when it gets uncomfortable? Who lives appreciation as a fundamental principle without losing sight of the strategic perspective? Then we fit together.
If you also know the school from a pedagogical perspective, either as a teacher or in another role, that is a valuable plus, but not a must. What counts is genuine interest in an institution that is more than a workplace and the willingness to actively shape it in the long term.
