Payroll Clerk
Location: One Stockport Exchange, Stockport, Greater Manchester
Contract type: Permanent
We are looking for a Payroll Clerk to join our busy Payroll team at our Shared Service Centre in Stockport. The role is Full Time 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday. This is currently a hybrid of; office based 3 days per week, and home working 2 days per week, though the home working element is optional.
Speaking of the business, it’s an incredibly exciting time to join Stagecoach – and being honest there’s also plenty of challenge to boot, but we suspect you’re the type of individual that would relish the opportunity to make a difference, no matter if this isn’t always easy! We’re a complex business in parts, but with a really simple premise – transport is at the heart of a strong economy, a strong society, a strong environment and a strong community… and we’re at the very heart of the transport industry.
We have a privileged role in connecting individuals and communities across the UK to healthcare, to employment, to education, to leisure…and most importantly to each other. All of our Driving, Engineering, Clerical, Cleaning, and Managerial colleagues expect a correct day’s pay in return for a hard day’s work, so as a Payroll Clerk you will have the opportunity to really have a positive impact on people’s lives.
