Payroll Officer - Horton Park Primary School
We are looking to appoint a permanent Payroll Officer to work within our busy central finance team, based at the Trust head office at Horton Park Primary School in Bradford. This will be a hybrid role (office and home working) but will also involve infrequent travel to our academies within Exceed Academies Trust.
Supporting the current finance team, working alongside the Chief Finance Officer, the Payroll Officer will possess a wealth of experience and knowledge to accurately advise stakeholders regarding all aspects of payroll including contractual/statutory sick pay, HMRC queries, and salary calculations in line with various terms and conditions. In addition to this, the Payroll Officer will advise and support our staff with accessing their pay information via the external payroll provider's ePayslips platform.
The role will be fast-paced, varied, and rewarding; you will work closely with the current finance team, whilst some collaboration with the central HR team will also be key to this role. If you are committed to delivering a high standard payroll service and are passionate about supporting employees with their payroll experience, then you will love working with us.
The right candidate will be a strong team player, proactive and innovative, with exceptional organisational skills. Previous experience of payroll administration is essential, ideally within an education setting.
At Exceed Academies Trust, our employees are our most valuable asset; all employees have access to workplace benefits including:
1. Employer contribution towards Government pension schemes
2. Access to an Employee Assistance Programme (24 hours per day, 7 days a week)
3. Occupational Health referral scheme
4. Mental Health First Aiders, in a number of our schools
5. A developing range of accessible CPD (www.exceedacademiestrust.co.uk/talent)
