The Role and Department
The Head of Payroll and People Services is a new role which will be responsible for managing a team of Payroll and HR colleagues to continue establishing and embedding a high performing compliance-focused service which provides a consistently high level of support to staff across the University and reflects best practice.
Reporting to the Assistant HR Director, the post-holder will play a critical role in the delivery of the University's Payroll and People Services team. The focus of the role will be predominantly on payroll, but the role holder will also oversee the team responsible for related HR processes in a complex organisation, including the recruitment of casual staff to meet the workforce needs of the university. The Head of Payroll, People and Pay Services must be versatile and able to work closely and collaboratively with stakeholders within the wider HR&OD team and across the University.
From early 2025, the base location for this role will change from our Durham City Centre site to our exciting new professional services hub based at Boldon House. Boldon House is situated on the outskirts of Durham near the Arnison Centre in Pity Me. Boldon House will bring a number of professional services teams together in a vibrant office environment which supports collaborative working and is designed to embrace hybrid working.
