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 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.

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.
