Payroll Team Member
The post holder will be a key member of a team that processes all the administrative tasks to support the Council’s Payroll service area. The role will also provide administrative support to the Corporate Working Patterns Project.
It is a fast-paced environment, often with tight deadlines, therefore you will need to demonstrate a willingness to work flexibly.
A good understanding and/or experience of using payroll systems along with Microsoft Office would be beneficial for this role.
This role is a perfect opportunity for someone who wishes to work in a deadline-driven environment and will provide a high level of administrative experience for future progression.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Hybrid working arrangements are available for this role. Each role at CYC is different and your working arrangements will be determined based on the requirements of the role and in collaboration with you and your needs as part of the recruitment process. Your contractual location will be the designated council office for your team.
