An exciting opportunity has arisen in our payroll department for an experienced payroll professional. London Borough of Tower Hamlets runs a £20million payroll each month for Council staff and over 40 borough schools. Our experienced team run a customer focussed service under the Head of Service for Improvements, Systems and Transactions and so the successful candidate will have a continuous improvement mindset, making the most of our existing systems, contributing to enhancements and process improvement. We are not necessarily looking for sector experience but seeking evidence of developing and supporting teams to deliver an efficient. accurate and consistent payroll service to tight deadlines in a large non-static organisation. Tower Hamlets vision for our borough is that: people are aspirational, independent and have equal access to opportunities; we are a borough that our residents are proud of and love to live in; and we are a dynamic, outcomes-based council using digital innovation and partnership working to respond to the changing needs of our borough. We want people who aspire to our TOWER values: Together; Open; Willing; Excellent; Respect. Tower Hamlets has a zero-tolerance approach to, and works to eradicate, all forms of discrimination on the basis of race, sex, disability, age, religion or belief, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marital status, status as a civil partner, gender, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy and maternity and looks to employ a diverse workforce representative of those groups. We recognise that people can also be disadvantaged by their social and economic circumstances, so we will work to eliminate discrimination and disadvantage caused by social class. We welcome applicants interested in flexible working arrangements and also applicants who live in the borough.
