Payroll Apprentice

Do you have lots of enthusiasm, great problem-solving skills and competency using Microsoft Office applications? Are you looking for a challenging role in an environment that’s open, vibrant and welcomes new ideas? Then join the University of East London as a Payroll Apprentice and gain a level 3 qualification in Payroll Administration.

It’s a particularly exciting time here at the University as our 10-year strategy, Vision 2028, we’re committed to providing students with the skills necessary to thrive in an ever-changing world, including increasing the diversity of the talent pipeline, particularly for Industry 4.0 jobs. We also want to position our east London location as being at both the heart of a major global gateway and the local community. And, right now, we’re looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our Payroll team and start building a career in human resources.

A great opportunity has arisen to contribute to the effective running of our team, we’ll look to you to provide first class administrative and logistical support to assist with a variety of payroll activities. A typical day might see you reporting generalist Payroll information and working with Finance colleagues, School Managers and other administrators answering payroll and pension related queries. You’ll also be responsible for inputting Payroll data to the HR database (iTrent) to ensure that all members of staff are paid accurately and on time. From assisting with the net pay checking procedures following input of payroll information to iTrent and prior to final pay run to liaising with our pension providers to ensure pension details and returns are accurate and submitted on time, one thing’s for sure - you won’t be short of interest and variety. Using your own initiative to solve problems is essential and you’ll enjoy working collaboratively in a team where suggesting improvements to processes is positively encouraged.

What’s more, you’re great at constructing and conveying clear, concise communications to high professional standards and creating a positive impression face-to-face, on the phone and via email and other forms of written and verbal communication. Supporting the Head of Payroll & other colleagues means you’ll need experience of working in a team in a busy office where you delivered a high standard of service to members of a team and other stakeholders, even better, although this is not as important your positive ‘can-do’ approach.

So, if you have what we are looking for and are keen to learn and further develop, get in touch.
