Job description

Job responsibilities

PERM Part Time 12 hours a week on average requirement to be flexible around payroll and pensions submission dates. Our HR team works a hybrid model of part office and part home working.

Given this, whilst you will always receive regular support and guidance from your HR colleagues, you will be comfortably working autonomously, using your own initiative to prioritise and complete a variable and high-volume workload whilst maintaining accuracy. If you are comfortable with this style of working and have excellent communication and organisational skills, we would love to hear from you. Applications will be assessed and responded to as they are received. We reserve the right to bring forward the closing date if sufficient applications are received.
