Maintain confidentiality and accuracy at all times.
About You

Knowledge of UK statutory legislation (tax, NI, SMP, etc.) and employment regulations (Working Time Directive, IR35, NMW).
Strong communication skills with a customer-focused approach.
Ability to work both independently and collaboratively to meet tight deadlines.
High attention to detail, strong organisational skills, and the ability to manage sensitive information under GDPR guidelines.
Desirable:
CIPP qualification.
Experience within Higher Education.
Experience using integrated HR/Payroll systems.
