We are working with a London based NHS organisation to find a strong Head of Payroll to take the service through significant change.

We are looking for someone with significant experience of stepping into a Payroll Manager role with a strong track record of driving change—ideally in automation and digital transformation.

Importantly, you need experience in managing the people aspects of change, leading the team through what will likely be a challenging transition.

Key duties associated with the service change are:

  • Lead the strategic digital payroll agenda, driving automation, system integration, and transformation of end-to-end processes.
  • Deliver a road map for service modernisation, maximising the use of ESR (the NWS) and associated digital platforms.
  • Champion innovative technologies including:
    • Intelligent automation / RPA
    • Data analytics and insight tools
    • Employee self-service enhancements
  • Reduce manual processing and operational risk through process re-engineering and digital design.
  • Align payroll transformation with wider Trust digital and data strategies, ensuring interoperability across systems.


This is a hybrid role with on site working 2-3 days a week and the rest from home so you need to be able to commute to London.
