The Payroll & Accounts Officer plays an important role in supporting the College’s financial operations. The main area of responsibility is the administration of the College payrolls, including a larger monthly payroll and a smaller termly payroll, both of which involve input from a range of sources and require a high degree of accuracy, discretion, and attention to detail. Reporting to the College Accountant, the postholder will work closely with colleagues in the Bursary as well as with HR, the Academic Administrator, Heads of Department, and external providers.
In addition to payroll, the role also supports wider Bursary activity, including financial processing, reconciliations, invoicing, and providing cover for essential finance tasks during busy periods or team absences. The role would suit someone who is comfortable working accurately with detailed financial information, managing regular deadlines, and dealing professionally with colleagues across the College on matters that are often time-sensitive and confidential.
