Payroll and Pensions Officer job summary

How you will make and impact :

H Help maintain the ethos of The Consortium Academy Trust by driving our organisational culture forwards and using every opportunity to embed our values.

Taking responsibility for your own development - that way we can make the biggest impact!

We are always looking for someone who can contribute to our growth.

More than anything, we are looking for a team player who puts their heart in to their work. We have some core values that run through everything we do, and we’d love it if they resonate with you too.

The Payroll & Pensions Officer is the Trust’s lead professional for payroll and pension oversight, responsible for ensuring the effective, accurate and compliant delivery of payroll services through the Trust’s external payroll provider.

Acting as the intelligent client, the postholder will manage the relationship with the payroll provider, ensuring that payroll services are delivered in line with contractual expectations, statutory requirements, and Trust standards. The role will provide assurance over payroll outputs through robust validation processes, while retaining and applying specialist in-house expertise across payroll and pension matters.

The postholder will act as the central point of coordination between schools, Shared Services, People Services, and the external provider, ensuring that payroll inputs are accurate, processes are well controlled, and staff are supported with high-quality advice and guidance on payroll and pension matters (including Teachers’ Pension Scheme and Local Government Pension Scheme).

This is not a payroll processing role. The role is focused on oversight, validation, governance, and advisory activity, ensuring that the Trust remains in control of its payroll outcomes while leveraging the benefits of an outsourced delivery model.
