Hybrid Payroll Officer in Melbourne

I’m currently partnering with a well-established, purpose-driven Not-for-Profit organisation to recruit an experienced Payroll Officer to join their fantastic payroll team. This is a great opportunity for someone looking for a longer-term position, offering an initial 24-month fixed-term contract with the potential to extend. You’ll also have the benefit of a hybrid working arrangement, giving you a great balance between working from home and being part of a supportive and collaborative team in their Camberwell office.

The organisation provides services across aged care, families, disability and wider community services, so there is a genuine purpose behind the work you’ll be doing. You’ll be joining an established payroll function and working closely with an experienced Payroll Manager and wider team. It’s a great environment for someone who enjoys being part of a team, wants stability and is looking for an organisation where they can genuinely settle in and enjoy the people they work with.

About the Role

This is a hands-on Payroll Officer position where you'll be responsible for:

• Processing payroll accurately and within required timeframes
• Assisting with end-of-pay processing
• Calculating and processing terminations, back pays and overpayments
• Responding to payroll queries from employees and managers
• Supporting end-of-pay and end-of-month reporting
• Producing ad hoc payroll reports
• Assisting with General Ledger reconciliations
• Maintaining and updating payroll processes and procedures
• Working closely with internal stakeholders across the wider organisation

The position also has a strong customer service focus, so it will suit someone who enjoys building relationships and helping employees and managers resolve payroll queries.

About You

To be successful, you'll ideally bring:

• 3–5 years' experience within a Payroll Officer or similar position
• Good understanding of taxation, superannuation and WorkCover legislation
• Strong attention to detail and numerical skills
• Confidence managing payroll queries and working with a range of stakeholders
• Intermediate to advanced Microsoft Excel skills
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Ability to work both autonomously and as part of a collaborative team
• Experience with Aurion and UKG would be highly regarded, as would previous experience within aged care or the Not-for-Profit sector.

Why You'll Love This Opportunity

If you're looking for more than just another short-term payroll contract, this is a really lovely opportunity. You'll have the security of a 24-month position, potential to extend, hybrid flexibility and, most importantly, a great team around you. You'll also be joining a large Not-for-Profit where your work contributes to an organisation making a genuine difference across the community.
