Rooted in a rich history, yet forward looking, the college’s purpose is founded on education, learning, excellence in teaching and research, and fostering a community. Like all colleges, it is an independent, self-governing body, which functions both as an academic institution and as a social and residential centre for its members.

The College is preparing to implement a new HR/Payroll system to modernise and improve staff data management, payroll processing, and reporting capabilities.

The purpose of this role is to oversee the associated data cleansing, profiling and validation activities prior to the main system implementation.

This role supports the effective use of HR technologies to ensure accurate data management, streamlined business processes, and high-quality reporting to support strategic decision-making.

The successful candidate will have experience administering or supporting HR or payroll systems with some understanding of UK employment and payroll legislation. You will also have experience relating to data analysis, reporting and interpretation, and improving systems and processes. You will be highly organised, adaptable with the ability to manage multiple projects and also have some experience relating to data cleansing, migration or integration projects.
