The environment
John Lyon’s Foundation comprises of two principal charitable entities:
* The Corporation, which itself comprises Harrow School and John Lyon School; and
* John Lyon’s Charity
Based within the Harrow School Bursary, the Foundation’s payrolls are run centrally by the Payroll Manager supported by the wider HR team. The successful candidate will join this friendly, well-established team and will work alongside the existing Payroll Manager in order to provide a comprehensive pay and benefits service across the Foundation
The role
Deputising for the Payroll Manager in his/her absence, the post holder will be responsible for The John Lyon School payroll (approximately 200 employees) on a month-to-month basis and will provide support to the Payroll Manager with the effective end to end running of all Foundation payrolls. The post-holder will also take responsibility for processing all sickness absence. This role will work alongside the Payroll Manager in administering the pension salary sacrifice and benefits programmes across the Foundation. The job description provided as an attachment to the advert on the School's vacancies page provides a detailed description of the role.
The skills
This is a great opportunity for someone with experience of assisting with the end-to-end process of running payrolls successfully, who now wants to take more responsibility for their own small payroll. You will have a good standard of numeracy and literacy as well as a Level 4 CIPP payroll qualification or equivalent. Your knowledge of how payrolls interact with the work of HR and Accounts will be invaluable. Attention to detail is essential as you make salary, overtime and shift payment calculations and you will be comfortable working in a busy office using your critical thinking and problem-solving skills to meet deadlines. Using your strong written and verbal communication skills and tactful, discreet, approachable manner, you will build strong professional relationships throughout the Foundation.
The benefits
* the opportunity to work from home 2 days per week (not Friday)
* automatic enrolment in the School’s pension scheme
* use of the School’s sports facilities such as the swimming pool, gym, and running track.
* subsidised membership of the tennis, golf, angling and social clubs.
Applications will be processed as they are received and interviews may take place before the closing date, so early application is recommended.
Equality, diversity and inclusion are values that are important to us at Harrow. We believe in diversity of thought and actively welcome everyone regardless of their background to bring their valuable and relevant skills to our community.
The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All successful applicants must be willing to undergo enhanced child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with any past employer and the Disclosure and Barring Service, and it is an offence to apply for the role if the applicant is barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children. No member of staff will be able to start until these checks are complete and this process takes, on average, a month. Please plan accordingly.
