Job description

Assistant Payroll Officer

Our client is a leading independent school for girls and boys aged 13 to 18. Their focus is on encouraging academic excellence, personal growth, and all-round achievement in their pupils while providing outstanding pastoral care. It is a vibrant hub of activity where pupils participate in an enormous range of co-curricular activities that support and inform their individual academic programmes.

The Finance team supports them to achieve this by providing expert advice and guidance to staff there and the wider family of schools. They are now looking to appoint an enthusiastic Assistant Payroll Officer to join an established team. This position would ideally suit a self-motivated individual, who is able to work in a fast-paced, busy environment and has experience of working in a similar role with good attention to detail. Working closely with other departments, the successful candidate will work closely with the Payroll Officer and will report to the Head of Operational Finance.

This is a fixed term contract for 12 months.

APPLICATIONS:

Application form can be found on their website. Applications should be submitted no later than Tuesday 1 November 2022. They reserve the right to close this vacancy before the closing date, and therefore early applications are encouraged. Interviews are currently scheduled for Thursday 17 November 2022. They reserve the right to close this vacancy at any time, so early applications are advised.

This post involves minimal contact with children, and the post holder will not be responsible for children. The post holder will be considered to be in regulated activity. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are 'spent' unless they are 'protected' under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

Our client exists to provide a quality all-round education for pupils aged 13 - 18 and is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Candidates must be prepared to undergo child protection screening and an Enhanced DBS check.

You will be required to provide proof of your identity, right to work in the UK, and qualifications during the selection process. They will seek references on short-listed candidates that will include questions about past disciplinary actions or allegations in relation to behaviour with children and may approach previous employers for information to verify particular experience or qualifications before interview. An online search will also be carried out as part of due diligence on all short-listed candidates.
