People & Capability Officer (Payroll and Administration)

Job No: ADC77
Location: Ashburton

  • Be our resident payroll expert, paying over 300 individuals.
  • Gain exposure to a variety of People & Capability activities.
  • Work in our brand-new purpose-built facility in the heart of the CBD.

 

What the job involves

You’ll be the go-to person for all things payroll — from timesheets to tax, leave accruals to superannuation. Accuracy and organisation will be your strength, and you’ll make sure everyone gets paid correctly and on time.

 

You’ll also be part of a supportive People & Capability team who’ll help you grow your skills across payroll and the wider HR activities, like recruitment, H&S and people related administration.

Who are we looking for?

Whether you’re a recent grad or already have some payroll experience, we want someone who’s:

  • Detail-oriented and organised, comfortable working to deadlines
  • Trustworthy with confidential info
  • Ideally qualified in HR or a related field
  • A great communicator who’s not afraid to ask questions
  • Keen to learn and grow in a busy, open-plan environment

 

Like us, you’ll be committed to providing a high level of service and an enthusiasm for not only owning your role but furthering it.

 

What’s in it for you

We're all about making mahi meaningful and enjoyable. Here's what you'll get when you join our whānau:

  • A brand-new workplace at Te Whare Whakatere 
  • A team that’s friendly, funny, and genuinely supportive
  • Professional development to help you grow your skills and confidence
  • Health and wellness perks to keep you feeling fab
  • Birthday leave — because cake tastes better when you’re not at work

Plus, you’ll be based in Ashburton — where the mountains meet the plains, Lake Hood is just around the corner, and Christchurch is a quick hop away.

 

We don’t believe there should be any reason stopping you from applying for this role, but if you are still a bit hesitant why not watch our recruitment video to see what Ashburton District Council can offer you!

 

If this sounds like your ideal role, then we’d love to hear from you. For a confidential chat about the role call Katie Perry, P&C Manager, on 021 2611 277.
