•    Confidential and discreet at all times
•    Flexible, with the ability to travel across the UK and stay overnight as required
•    Excellent attention to detail
•    Able to use initiative 
•    Highly organised
•    A proactive approach to problem-solving and a commitment to delivering high-quality service

Knowledge and Expertise:

•    It is essential that the job holder can demonstrate a good working knowledge of Microsoft packages including Excel and Word
•    Good understanding of and practical knowledge of both HR and Payroll
•    Sage 50 Payroll & HR is desirable but not essential
•    Knowledge and understanding of employment law
•    Examples of adding value as both an individual contributor and active team member
