Full job description

Competitive salary with progression opportunities + Local Government Pension Scheme + 24/7 access to a free virtual GP Service + collaborative MAT network + additional LAT benefits.

The opportunity

Scale. Complexity. Impact. Every month, we run 38 payrolls ensuring almost 4,000 colleagues across one of the South East’s largest multi-academy trusts are paid accurately and on time. We also flawlessly administer two of the country’s largest public sector pension schemes.

As Head of People Systems, Pay and Benefits, you will lead the team responsible for payroll, pensions, systems, and workforce data. This is a role for a leader who thrives on complexity, values responsibility, and wants to shape the future of our digital People Services. You will inherit a service with strong foundations and have the autonomy to drive major systems improvements, expand iTrent self-service, and enhance strategic workforce reporting.

What you will be doing

You will provide strategic leadership for payroll, systems and benefits whilst leading an experienced team responsible for:

Delivering 38 monthly payrolls accurately, compliantly and on time.
Leading the Trust's administration of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme and Local Government Pension Scheme.
Acting as the strategic lead for iTrent, driving system development, self-service and continuous improvement.
Leading future HR and payroll systems procurement and supplier relationships.
Developing workforce reporting through Business Objects, providing insight that informs executive and governance decision-making.
Producing statutory workforce reporting, including Gender Pay Gap reporting and wider people analytics.
Developing and enhancing employee benefits that strengthen the Trust's employer offer.
Ensuring the highest standards of governance, compliance, audit and payroll controls.

Who we are looking for

iTrent Expert: You haven’t just used iTrent; you have configured, challenged, and optimised it.
Pensions Authority: You know the TPS and LGPS inside out, from contributions and returns to employer responsibilities.
Data-Driven Leader: You use Business Objects to transform raw data into meaningful insights that shape organisational strategy.
Strategic Thinker: You view technology as an enabler to automate and simplify processes, backed by a proven track record of managing payroll at scale.

Education sector experience is an advantage, but technical expertise, attention to detail, and professional curiosity matter most.

Why join us?

This is far more than a payroll role. You will join an ambitious People Services leadership team with genuine executive backing, giving you the autonomy to modernise services and directly improve the experience of 4,000 colleagues.

What we offer

Salary of £60,000 - £75,000 per annum, depending on experience
Membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme, with Shared Cost AVCs available for LGPS members
25 days annual leave, rising to 30 after five years’ service, plus bank holidays
Hybrid working
Enhanced maternity and adoption pay
Two weeks’ paternity leave at full pay from day one of employment
Medicash Health Cash Plan, providing reimbursement of everyday health costs including optical, dental and health screenings
Employee Assistance Programme and 24/7 virtual GP service, available to you and your immediate family
Financial wellbeing support, including flexible access to pay as it is earned, budgeting tools and financial education resources
Salary sacrifice schemes including Cycle to Work
Free on-site parking
Professional development opportunities, including access to CPD, qualifications and specialist training
