What I'm looking for

I am looking for an HR role that deepens my compliance and HR systems expertise, involves payroll-linked responsibilities, supports professional development, and values accuracy, collaboration, and process improvement.

I am a confident, highly organised payroll and HR professional with extensive experience supporting employees, clients, and managers across payroll and people processes. I deliver accurate, timely payrolls and clear, compliant HR administration for a diverse client base.

In my most recent roles I have managed payroll portfolios of over 50 clients and processed payrolls for organisations from 1 to 500 employees, handling RTI submissions, pension uploads, statutory calculations, and year-end reporting. I provide expert technical advice, train staff, and lead process improvement initiatives.

Currently working as an HR Officer at the University of Oxford, I maintain HR data in PeopleXD, run departmental payroll, manage recruitment and onboarding, and ensure UKVI right-to-work compliance for staff and visitors. I combine strong stakeholder communication with meticulous record-keeping and GDPR-compliant handling of confidential information.

I am seeking to continue developing my expertise in compliance and HR systems within a dynamic organisation, bringing a calm, analytical, solutions-focused approach to complex workloads and tight deadlines.
