Payroll Officer

Do you have office administration and payroll experience as well as good communication skills, adept at using payroll and information management systems, to ensure accuracy of monthly salary payments whilst having empathy and patience with staff who will be relying on your knowledge for guidance?

If so, we have a great opportunity for an enthusiastic and approachable person to join our HR Payroll team.

Ideally, we are looking for applicants who have previously worked in payroll, ideally with experience working in pensions and would like to work in an environment to support our valued staff who work with our vulnerable children and young people. Our strategic medium-term aim is to bring payroll back in-house and for that a willingness to upskill with supported training, if necessary, will be required.

Reporting to the Director of HR and Director of Finance, you will jointly oversee the administration of the payroll, dealing directly with staff, monitoring monthly payroll, reporting and providing updates to the senior leadership team. Working with your colleague, ensuring all paperwork and records are maintained and data submitted in a timely manner. For a full list of responsibilities, please refer to the job profile

Every member of our 250 staff plays a part in making a positive contribution to the lives of our students and tenants. Students may visit the office so compassion, patience and empathy for their needs is vital. If you are recruited, you will be required to complete Team Teach positive behaviour support training as part of your induction before employment.*
