£45,810 (including inner London weighting of £4410)

Contract type: Fixed Term Contract

 

At the Royal College of Nursing we’re an optimistic organisation. And we’ve got good reason to be. We all share the same voice when it comes to changing the shape of the health policies of the future. And as the largest trade union of nursing staff and students in the UK – with over 450,000 members – all we can see are the infinite possibilities for a brighter future. Join us and you will too. We’re accredited with Investors in People Gold Standard.

 

As Payroll Manager for the RCN Group, you’ll use your positive attitude, your extensive knowledge of payroll legislation and your ability to deliver under pressure to manage the RCN Group payrolls which cover over 1,000 employees.

 

The small payroll team which you will lead is part of the RCN Group finance department which gives you the opportunity to work with a finance team full of knowledge and expertise. You will work closely with the RCN People & OD team and the RCNi HR team to ensure monthly payrolls are accurate and processed on time.

 

You will be responsible for all aspects of the payroll preparation and processing including monthly submissions to HMRC, pension administrators and other third parties.

 

You will join the RCN Group at an exciting time as it embarks on a transformation programme which includes reviewing systems and processes in both Finance and People & OD. This will give you a great opportunity to demonstrate and enhance your leadership and communication skills as you make a significant contribution to the finance transformation programme.

 

What we offer you

 

We expect you to look after our employee’s payroll matters. And we expect you to be rewarded for it. As well as a whole range of learning and development opportunities we can also offer you an impressive range of benefits. We have a highly competitive pay structure, as well as flexible working, and annual leave of up to 32 days.

 

Balancing work and life commitments is important to us as an organisation. We are a diverse organisation and understand everyone has different needs. All employees can ask for flexible working and when personal circumstances change we will work with you to find a smarter working solution that suits everyone. In fact, many of our employees enjoy home working, flexible working or compressed hours, enabling them to deliver results with minimum impact to their professional and personal commitments. We also offer generous Maternity, Paternity and Adoption leave packages.

 

You will be an experienced Payroll Manager holding a IPPM or equivalent qualification, demonstrating a good understanding of payroll calculations and legislation. You will bring to the role a desire to continually improve payroll processes ensuring robust controls and data protection protocols are always in place.

 

To succeed at the Royal College of Nursing all you need to do is think bigger, better and brighter. And with an attitude like that, anything’s possible.
