Who are Fusion Education People Solutions, what do we do?

We are Education people specialists; we have a team of leaders who have all worked in education for many years and understand the business challenges that schools and MATs have to deal with day in and day out. We have developed cloud based software for schools to give them a one-stop shop for their people management.

Our Payroll & Pension Bureau removes the admin burden for schools, allowing us to provide a flexible and reliable payroll solution tailored to accommodate their needs, ensuring peace of mind that their staff will be paid accurately and on time, every time.

We’re looking to add a Payroll Officer into our growing payroll team to continue the exciting rollout of our bureau service.

• Ensure that all staff are paid correctly, along with updating payroll systems with up to date rates including correct pay rates, allowance values, pension deductions, NI rates and tax thresholds
• Calculate pay adjustments where required (such as outstanding holiday pay or pay to be collected due to leavers)
• Processing maternity, paternity and shared parental pay calculations in line with customer policies and expectations.

Because of this, we have a very happy and long standing team who are genuinely passionate about the job they do.

We’ll be looking for someone who shares our strong values and belief in our purpose ‘to create better futures for our children through innovative people solutions’.
