Key Responsibilities
You will be part of a small team of specialists who lead, advise and support the business and help deliver our strategy. With around 160 staff members the HR Team play a hugely important role in all aspects from recruitment to learning, wellbeing to pensions. It is a small team, and we need someone with experience to deal with the multiple facets of HR and someone who is a “doer”. You should be as happy developing strategy as you are running a welcome induction. Life will not be boring, and you will work with some incredible people, and experience some incredible stories. You will go home every day knowing you have made a difference.
This role will require an experienced HR generalist with some knowledge of Payroll or a Payroll specialist with previous experience in HR. In both cases you would need a willingness to learn the other aspects.
Key tasks include
• Submit and check our payroll which is managed by Moorepay. This includes handling payroll inquiries, maintaining payroll records, and addressing any discrepancies.
• With the support of our external pension’s advisors, ensure our pension scheme is correctly governed, correct communications are sent to staff and that payments are uploaded to our Pension Scheme.
• Ensure our HR platform (Natural HR) is the single version of truth on employee details, maintained with the latest employee information and that workflows operate correctly and in a timely manner.
• Ensure our learning management system (Learning Hangar) is operating correctly, new courses are added or updated, and staff maintain recency with their compliance courses.
• Lead/oversee the recruitment and induction of new staff.
• An annual renewal of our benefit insurances supported by our brokers Mercer.
• Deal with internal employee relations matters, if they arise. e.g. OH referral, exit interviews, capability reviews.
• Coach our HR apprentice.
• Develop your own skills to ensure KSS maintains compliance with legislation on Pensions, Pay and People related legislation.
• Be the internal subject matter expert for our people systems NaturalHR (HRM), Skills for Health (LMS), and Hireful (ATS)
You will have the support from the Head of HR, a People Buisness Partner and an HR apprentice and the wider Corporate Services team. We do not expect to find anyone who specialises in all activities or the systems we use, but familiarity with any of the systems named in the job profile will be an advantage. Given the breadth of the role, we are also willing to consider people with just UK Payroll experience (part time basis). If this is the case, please state it clearly in the application. In essence we can be flexible to build the right team with the skills we need. If you think you can contribute, please apply.
The Directorate
As part of the Corporate Services function it is your job to support the organisation, ensuring it is fit to grow and deliver its ambition. We aspire for excellence in all we do, maintaining full compliance with regulation and ensuring every penny we raise is spent with the high-level care and consideration it merits.
Application and Interview Process
We ask all applicants to ensure that they provide us with an up-to-date CV and a covering statement that is relevant to the role of HR/Payroll Co-ordinator. We recommend that you review the Job Specification within the job description (available on our website), which outlines the essential and desirable requirements for this role, and how we will assess your application to determine whether you meet those essential and desirable qualities.
All shortlisted candidates will then undertake a two-stage interview process, with the first stage being held over Microsoft Teams. All online interviews are booked through our online portal, which will provide a range of times and dates for you to select. The second stage of our interview process will be a more formal face to face interview held at our Charity headquarters at Rochester Airport. For any applicant that requires reasonable adjustments for either stage of the interview process, please ensure that this is outlined in your application or outlined to our HR Team.
The closing date for this role is 22nd December 2024. Please note that we will actively conduct interviews before the closing date of our external advertisement, and this role may close prior to this date if a suitable candidate is found.
