Description

Would you be interested in a career in payroll? You may not have payroll experience now but if you have the skills and aptitude, we are looking for why not read on.

Are you reliable and motivated? Do you have good customer service skills? Perhaps you have a background in administration.

We are looking for someone who, once trained, is able to prioritise and work calmly to organise their own work allocation.

We need someone who is computer literate and able to use Word, Excel and Outlook at a basic level. Having a good eye for detail and being process orientated is useful as well as having good communication skills.

The role is hybrid working.

You will need to come into the office for face-to-face training initially and will then work primarily from home with a requirement to come into the office periodically on a scheduled basis.

Please note that the hours are over five days per week, Monday to Friday.


Main duties include:


Supported by the Payroll Team Leader and Payroll Advisors, to be responsible for a small allocation of the Trust's payroll.

To work on specific tasks associated with the production of the Trust's monthly payroll.


To work with the team to run, produce and validate the Trust's monthly payroll, ensuring that payments are accurate and timely, and that T&Cs, policy and statutory legislation in relation to staff pay is complied with at all times.

To provide a customer focused payroll service.

We are a friendly and caring team, providing a trust wide local payroll service.

We each have our own allocations of work and work independently, but as a team we always have an open communication channel where any queries can be raised.


It would be good to have some payroll administration experience, ideally in an NHS setting, but don't worry if you don't have this, as full training and support will be given.
