Payroll Officer What we offer...

We understand how important life is outside of work so, as well as competitive salary and 33 days annual leave, we are totally committed to flexible working. We'll support you, wherever possible, so that you don't miss out on what truly matters to you.

If you do ever need a little bit of extra help we have a great employee assistance programme, financial well-being support and access to loads of great discounts with leading high street names.

Our range of network groups are also there to support you to truly be yourself at work and play a key role in helping shape our future.

If you are a member of a professional body we'll pay for your membership and once you get your top of the range digital kit you'll be good to go in one of our great offices (or at home!).

A bit about the role...

The Payroll Officer will be responsible for providing a professional and responsive Payroll service to customers both internally and externally by adhering to defined service level agreements, policies and procedures and statutory requirements, ensuring accurate payment every month.

You will be working in a small busy payroll team across multiple payrolls, working collaboratively with other colleagues within HR Operations, whilst thinking creatively about continuous improvement.

A bit about you...

You will be an experienced payroll professional looking for their next challenge. You will have a wealth of knowledge in all aspects of in-house payroll, including end to end processing, analysis, manual calculations, statutory requirements and payroll controls.

As your role will involve working across multiple payrolls you will be highly organised, self-motivated, able to prioritise and work to tight deadlines.

In delivering a professional and responsive payroll service to both internal and customers, you will have excellent communication and customer service skills and be able to anticipate future actions required with the customer experience at the forefront. You will have good interpersonal skills with the ability to be assertive when necessary, resilient, and remain calm under pressure.

A payroll qualification or working towards a payroll qualification is desirable but not essential.

Who are we?

We are the Government's national housing agency. Our role is to accelerate the pace of housebuilding across the country, particularly in areas where there are the most serious affordability issues - meaning people are struggling to find homes.

We have the appetite, influence, expertise and resources to drive positive market change and meet the Government's ambition to deliver 300,000 new homes a year. We are using our land, influence, funds and knowledge to increase the pace, scale and quality of new homes accelerating delivery in areas of greatest demand and helping create great places to live. Within the next few years, we will have invested over £27 billion across our programmes. To deliver against these aims we're building a different kind of public service - join us to help make this happen.

We would encourage all applicants to apply as soon as possible as we may close vacancies early should we receive a high number of applications. We also encourage you to apply using the full application option as opposed to quick apply, this is especially important if you would like to indicate to us that you would like to be considered under the disability confident scheme.

If your application is shortlisted to interview we will require you to provide proof of your right to work in the UK at that stage.

Homes England are a geographically diverse community. We are all working from home at the moment and so our new colleagues can be based almost anywhere providing that their commute to their relevant base office is reasonable when we come back together. Colleague well-being is our top priority.

Please note that Homes England are currently consulting on a pay and grading review. We will share information with candidates about the outcome of this review and any impact that this may have on this role throughout the recruitment process.
