They are looking for a Payroll Officer.
Location: Hammersmith / Hybrid
Hours: 21 hours per week
Salary: £32,000 – £37,000 (full time equivalent)
Contract: Permanent
This post is open to female applicants only as being female is deemed to be a genuine occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010.
Our client is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. They strongly encourage applications from individuals with lived experience and those from marginalised or underrepresented communities.
This is a part-time role, offering flexibility that may suit individuals with caring responsibilities or other commitments.

They believe in empowering women and girls to lead safe, non-violent, equal lives so that they can flourish and contribute to the community.
They are a community-based organisation who lead in best practice approaches to supporting women in their local community. They achieve this by being available to meet and support women in local settings and at their women’s centres, and by working in close partnership with other agencies.
