Payroll Officer job summary
About the role: Leigh Academies Trust operates an effective and very efficient in-house payroll service on behalf of our 31 academies. As the Trust continues to grow, we now have the opportunity to appoint a Payroll Officer to join us, starting as soon as possible (depending on the successful candidate’s notice period).
The successful candidate will join a team of 8 friendly and knowledgeable staff who you will be learning from, and working under the direction of a supportive and highly experienced Payroll Manager. The Payroll Team at LAT is incredibly stable with members of the team rarely leaving the Trust, demonstrating the commitment they have and the great working environment that they are part of. Our successful candidate does not have to have a wealth of experience specifically in Payroll as we can provide you with excellent training to get you up to speed; instead, we are looking for a committed candidate with excellent attention to detail who is able to prioritise and won’t be phased by a high volume of work.
What we can offer;
Flexibility can be offered around start and finish times, but the majority of the team work Monday to Thursday 8.00am - 4.30pm and 8.00am - 4.00pm on Fridays
A starting salary of £23,188 per annum + 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
Hybrid working at present; 2 days in the office, 3 days working from home in light of the pandemic. In the long term, we anticipate a working arrangement of 4 days in the office with 1 day working from home.
We are conducting interviews on a rolling basis and will continue to do so until we appoint a great candidate - hopefully that will be you!
