Organisational Context
The British Tourist Authority (BTA) is the national tourism agency and a non-departmental public body funded by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS), trading under the name of VisitBritain/VisitEngland (VB/VE).
We are a global organisation with a diverse culture and over 280 employees based across 16 different countries. Our purpose is to drive a thriving tourism industry, creating economic prosperity across Britain.
VisitBritain, as the official tourist board for England, Scotland, and Wales, is responsible for marketing Great Britain worldwide to prospective travellers. VisitEngland (VE) plays a unique role in developing English tourism through supporting business growth and informing the industry with statutory research and insights, and engagement activities through events and communications.
VB/VE also plays a unique role in building England’s tourism product, raising Britain’s profile worldwide, increasing the volume and value of tourism exports, and developing Britain’s visitor economy.
As the national tourism board, VisitBritain is responsible for targeting international visitors to boost overseas visits and spend in the UK.
Our organisational values have been collaboratively crafted with colleagues across various divisions and geographical locations, giving us a fresh sense of direction and inspiring us to drive transformative change within our organisation.
* With Passion - fuelled by our enthusiasm and positivity to deliver excellent results.
* In Partnership – empowered to work with partners towards a greater aim beyond our own.

Location and Ways of Working
We follow the principle of “Locate for your Day”, allowing people to use their judgment to decide the best place to work to meet the needs of the business. The majority of our roles can be performed predominantly remotely; however, we are not a fully remote organisation as we recognise the importance of face-to-face connection. You will be expected to spend some time in the office.
We operate from our Global Hub at Victoria Square House in Birmingham and maintain a small presence in Central London. Our Global Hub is located in Birmingham, which is our primary location. However, many of our employees are located across the UK, so we try to be mindful of our sustainability commitments when coming together to collaborate. Therefore, working in another location may be required on occasion. You will be expected to commute to your nearest location/usual place of work at your own cost, and any requests for you to travel further will be compensated.
Main Purpose of the Role
The Payroll, Pensions & MI Advisor will be responsible for providing an accurate, efficient, proactive, and professional Payroll and Pensions Service to the British Tourist Authority, providing advice and support to stakeholders while ensuring all relevant information is supplied accurately and in a timely manner to the outsourced Payroll bureau and Pensions processing provider.
The post holder will also be responsible for high-quality business intelligence and management information through accurate administration of the electronic HR system and employee records. The post holder will be required to provide support and assistance to the HRBP in relation to workforce data and reporting by overseeing the development and provision of various HR reports.
