About the role
As a Payroll Adviser you will coordinate, administer and advise employees, managers and third parties on Payroll policies, procedures and systems to deliver a consistent and customer focused service that is compliant with statutory and NFU Mutual requirements and enables effective self-service.
You'll gain invaluable experience delivering an essential service to the business, ensuring that every month 4,500 employees are paid correctly and on time. A friendly and welcoming team, Payroll care about the work they deliver and supporting employees with their most important reward - pay.
This is a great opportunity to gain exposure to HR/Payroll policies and procedures in a large organisation. You’ll work on all aspects of the full employee lifecycle from adding new starters to processing contract changes, overtime, and leavers. And if you are currently studying, or planning to start the CIPP, study support may be available.
As a wider HR division, we care about our internal employees and the experience they have at work. We have won the Gallup Great Place to Work Award 9 years in a row which recognises the incredible effort we make to provide support to our employees.

Alongside the above you will also demonstrate:
-
