Overview

At IRIS Software Group, we build software that helps thousands of schools and trusts across the UK work more efficiently and stay on top of essential tasks – from HR and payroll to health & safety and compliance. Our mission is simple: to free up time for school staff so they can focus on what really matters – supporting their pupils.

One of our most popular products is called Every – a cloud-based platform that helps schools manage all the moving parts of their daily operations in one secure place. With Every, schools can schedule building checks, track staff absences, log maintenance requests, store policies, and much more. It brings everything together, giving school teams a clear view of what needs doing, when, and why.

When a school joins Every, they need someone to walk them through the system, show them how it works in simple terms, and help them feel confident using it. That’s where you come in.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead interactive webinars and virtual sessions, explaining Every in a clear, helpful, step-by-step way using tools like Zoom or Teams.
• Visit schools for in-person training.
• Create useful guides and resources. Not everyone learns the same way, so you’ll also help build written guides, videos, and checklists to support different learning styles.
• Answer follow-up questions and ensure users feel confident continuing to use Every day-to-day.
• Keep up to date with features and ensure training content reflects the latest updates.
• Work closely with onboarding and support teams to give schools the best experience possible.

This is an entry-level role. You don’t need to be a tech expert or have experience in training – we’ll teach you that. What matters most is your communication style, your mindset, and your willingness to learn.

Who We’re Looking For

• You enjoy helping others and explaining things in a simple, friendly way.
• You’re confident speaking with people, both online and face-to-face.
• You’re comfortable using tools like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Docs.
• You’re organised and can manage your own time well.
• You’re a team player who can also work independently.

Bonus points (but not essential):

• Experience working in or with schools.
• An interest in HR, compliance, or how schools operate.
• Any experience presenting, coaching, or delivering training to others.
• A meaningful role – help school staff across the UK build confidence with Every.
• A consistent routine – work Monday to Friday, 08:00–16:00.
• Flexible working – split your time between home, our Leeds office, and school visits.
• Full training and development – we’ll give you all the tools to succeed.
• Supportive team culture – work with friendly, knowledgeable colleagues.
• Room to grow – build a future with a fast-growing company in education technology.

What Can You Expect From Our Application Process?

We’ve designed a supportive and inclusive process to help you shine:

Send us your CV and a short application - we’re keen to hear why you’re interested in HR and what excites you about joining IRIS.

If shortlisted, you’ll complete two short assessments that help us understand how you think and work.

• CCAT - A quick, 15-minute timed assessment covering verbal, numerical, and logical reasoning. It’s best done somewhere quiet, with a pen and paper handy.
• EPP - An untimed personality profile focused on your working style and approach to challenges. No right or wrong answers - just be yourself. These are widely used and designed to be fair and inclusive, helping us see beyond your CV.

A short, friendly chat over Microsoft Teams with someone from our Talent team. It’s your chance to ask questions and learn more about the role and life at IRIS.

Join us at our Leeds office (LS1 2AY) for an interactive, in-person session with other candidates (date to be confirmed). You’ll take part in team-based activities, meet our team, and get a real feel for our culture.

If you’re organised, people-focused, and looking to build a meaningful career where you can help schools succeed, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and start your journey with IRIS and Every.
