3 months ago


Dorchester, United Kingdom Dorset Councils Full time

People are at the heart of every service we deliver at Dorset Council and in HR & Payroll Support it is our role to enable people to do their best work.

We are offering an exciting opportunity to join the HR & Payroll Support team, one of the key support areas in the HR Shared Services Centre at Dorset Council. We are looking for a highly motivated individual to undertake a key role in the delivery of this service for Dorset Council.

Based in Dorchester with the option to work from home for some of your time. Attendance at the offices in Dorchester is essential for induction and training and a regular commitment to attending the office for team events and customer support is an integral part of the role.

**What you will be doing**

You will be involved in delivering a range of HR and Payroll services to meet the needs of our managers and employees.

Alongside this you will have responsibility for keeping our employee records up to date in the council’s HR/Payroll system, from starting in employment through to leaving, and all other elements of the employee life cycle.

**About you**

To be successful in this role, you will have a good standard of general education, and be numerate, with excellent written and verbal communication skills. You will have experience of performing an administrative role and be skilled in the use of office ICT systems. Experience of working in a HR and/or Payroll service is desirable but not essential.

Your understanding of the importance of accurate record keeping and data protection will be a key attribute. It's important that you are a team player and able to prioritise your workload and work to deadlines. The Dorset Council behaviours form part of everything we do. You’ll need to be able to demonstrate them through the way you work, and during the recruitment process.

**Dorset Council: A great place to work**

We’re passionate about making Dorset a great place to live, work and visit. Working for us should be no exception.

At Dorset Council we:

- provide more than 450 services to over 300,000 residents
- have ambitious aspirations
- are excited about our future
- care about Dorset and all the people who live here
- know that all roles make a difference and that our employees are key to our success

You will:

- have access to a range of employee benefits
- be part of an organisation that supports each other to grow and succeed
- have access to range of training opportunities which will help with your personal development and career progression

We are proud to be a Disability Confident Employer. We offer an interview to everyone who declares a disability and meets the essential criteria for the role.

We also look for applicants who share our commitment to our behaviours. We will ask you to evidence when you have demonstrated them as part of the selection process.

This role is UK based and we will need to establish your Right to Work as part of the appointment process.

We use generic job descriptions and person specifications. This means the job title on any attachments may differ from the job title in the advert. We may provide specific information in a context statement if relevant.
