At Wellington City Council (WCC) we have a clear unifying purpose: Kia mahi ngātahi mō Pōneke mō tōna āpōpō | Working together for Wellington's future.
One of the best things about working at the Council is the people. We're passionate and committed and we care about our city and community. We're proud of our mahi and every day we see how the work we do helps make Pōneke a better place to live, work, and play - from our libraries to our parks and gardens to our pools and streets.
With one of our amazing Senior Payroll Officers going on maternity leave and Jo stepping in to cover while she's away, we are looking for a Payroll Officer to help us provide payroll support services to a range of business units across council (we also look after the payroll function for council-controlled organisations like the Zoo).
This is a great opportunity to join a payroll team with a good dynamic and lots of experience to learn from. They're supportive, help each other out when it gets busy, and work closely with the wider HR team - with a Team Leader, Vandana, who is open minded, likes making improvements to processes, is a good listener and a great team builder.
You'll be providing help and advice to managers, employees and payroll administrators out in the wider organisation. There's the usual payroll processing, and payroll-related reporting & testing, but you'll also work closely with our HR Business Partners to provide payroll support during any change initiatives, and you'll be encouraged to identify opportunities for us to improve our systems and processes.
We're looking for someone with some payroll experience, but more importantly, someone who is positive, proactive, open-minded, and eager to take on new challenges. This is a fast-paced role with plenty to keep you busy, but you'll be part of a supportive team that values teamwork.
Experience with TechOne is a bonus, but if you're a quick learner, we're happy to support you in getting up to speed.
Remuneration for this role is $64,404 - $75,769 with appointment in range based on previous skills and experience.
