We have an exciting opportunity for a dedicated and proficient payroll specialist to join the Central HR Team in our forward-thinking, supportive, and developing education trust.
Tove Learning Trust currently has around 1800 employees spread over fifteen schools and a central team, with more growth anticipated in the near future. The postholder will oversee and manage all payroll and pension-related administration in collaboration with an external payroll bureau and a processing colleague based in each school.
We require a conscientious and hardworking individual with a strong understanding of UK payroll legislation and the ability to handle complex payroll calculations with exceptional attention to detail. This role will also provide training, support, and technical expertise to our school-based payroll colleagues as well as advice and guidance to the central operations team in the development of the payroll system.
Experience of educational payroll and pensions, including term-time only pay calculations and working with MHR i-Trent payroll systems, would be an advantage.
The successful candidate will:
Have a proven record of payroll management, recording, and reporting. Be able to understand complex payroll software and add value to the transactional processes by developing and defining procedures. Calculate variations to basic pay, wage increments, overtime payments, holiday, and sickness pay. Calculate and process statutory deductions, including income tax, National Insurance contributions, and pension contributions. Oversee the administration of employee pension schemes, including TUPE transfers, auto enrolment, contributions, and leavers. Manage the employer portals and liaise confidently with Teachers Pensions and Local Government Pension Scheme teams. Be effective at data management and manipulation, ideally with experience of advanced Excel and Power BI software. Conduct payroll audits to ensure data accuracy and compliance with internal policies and external regulations. Have empathy with less experienced users and a desire to help, support, and provide excellent customer service.
