The Role

Full Time – 36.5 hours per week
Up to 2% Attendance Bonus
On-site parking and gym facilities
Occupational Pension Scheme

With the impending retirement of the existing post holder, Ashcroft Technology Academy is seeking to appoint an individual with practical experience in payroll and/or human resources management to join its Finance and Resources team. The position provides full human resource administration, which will include the timely submission of monthly payroll data for existing staff to our external payroll provider. The maintenance of up-to-date personnel and pay records and assistance in the recruitment processes for new staff will also be required of the role.

The successful applicant will manage the Academy payroll system to run a separate, but small payroll for a group of pensioners who belong to a separate pension plan and will also produce a number of miscellaneous reports and year-end schedules for both payroll and audit purposes. The post holder will also provide first-line support to staff over attendance, pay and pension matters. 

Applicants will be expected to be highly numerate and have good literacy and IT skills, with the ability to work as part of a team in a busy environment. The ideal candidate will be highly organised, will have the ability to work accurately, with excellent attention to detail, and will liaise confidently with other staff members and external agencies. Previous experience of working within a school setting would be an advantage although this is not essential. Some flexibility in hours may be necessary.

If you would like to be a part of the Finance and Resources team, a detailed job description, person specification and an application form are available from our website www.ashcroftacademy.org.uk  under career opportunities. A job description is also attached below. 

You must complete the application form electronically and email it directly to recruitment@ashcroftacademy.org.uk to arrive as soon as possible and no later than the closing date: Wednesday 30th June.

We reserve the right to bring forward the closing date where we find suitable applications and so we advise that applications should be submitted as soon as possible as we may choose to interview shortly after receipt.

All appointments are subject to enhanced DBS clearance. ATA safeguards children and actively promotes their welfare. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. ATA is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from minority groups and also has full disabled access.
