About the Role
Are you an experienced payroll professional with excellent analytical skills and a talent for coordinating complex processes? We're looking for a Payroll Delivery Services Coordinator to play a key role in delivering high-quality payroll services, supporting organisational change and driving continuous service improvement.
Responsibilities
The Payroll Delivery Team provides payroll services to Wiltshire Council, schools, academies and a range of external public-sector organisations. This includes providing advice and guidance on payroll-related matters, maintaining employee records, and supporting the development of HR&OD services through improved systems, processes and management information.
This technical role supports the delivery of payroll services by acting as a key point of contact across Payroll Delivery, customers and internal teams, ensuring activities are effectively coordinated and delivered in line with organisational and financial controls.
The postholder will use their knowledge of local government payroll processes, Oracle systems, organisational structures and data to interpret requirements, resolve issues and support the effective delivery of payroll services.
Requirements
To be successful in this role, you will hold an NVQ in Business Management or have equivalent knowledge gained through relevant experience. You will have experience working in a technical environment, including reporting, data analysis and basic programming. As a strong problem solver, you will demonstrate sound judgement, excellent attention to detail and strong IT skills, enabling you to analyse and interpret information effectively.

Submission of unsolicited CVs or candidate details to the Council, whether directly or to individual employees, will not be considered as an introduction and will not create any obligation on the Council to pay any fees.

Agencies wishing to work with the Council must do so only via our approved procurement processes and neutral vendor arrangements.
