At Levande, we're redefining retirement living through our commitment to creating communities where residents can live well, every day. As we continue to grow nationally, we're looking for a Senior Payroll Officer to join our People & Culture team and play a key role in delivering accurate, compliant, and high-quality payroll services across the business.
Why this role?
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone ready to step up into a Senior Payroll role, or for an early-tenure Senior Payroll Officer looking to deepen their experience in a supportive, high-performing environment.
You'll be trusted to manage end-to-end payroll while working closely with P&C and Finance, contributing to continuous improvement and ensuring a seamless employee experience.
About the Role
Reporting to the Payroll Manager, you'll be responsible for the end-to-end payroll function, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timely delivery across all payroll activities.
This is a part-time role (30.4 hours per week), working Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, with Thursday as the standard non-working day (with flexibility to vary this every second week).
Key Responsibilities
* End-to-end payroll processing, ensuring accuracy and compliance with legislation
* Managing new starters, terminations, back pays, and leave reconciliations
* Processing superannuation, payroll tax, PAYG and third-party payments
* Conducting time & attendance checks and resolving discrepancies
* Maintaining accurate payroll records and documentation
* Supporting month-end and year-end payroll activities and reporting
* Providing responsive, high-quality payroll support to employees and stakeholders
* Managing the payroll inbox with a focus on timely query resolution
What You'll Bring
* Solid experience in a Payroll Officer role, ready to step up, or ~1 year experience as a Senior Payroll Officer
* Strong understanding of end-to-end payroll processes and compliance requirements
* Experience working with payroll systems (Dayforce experience highly regarded)
* High attention to detail and strong analytical capability
* Ability to manage deadlines and work autonomously
* Strong stakeholder engagement and customer service mindset
While experience with Ceridian Dayforce is preferred, we're open to candidates with strong payroll systems experience who can quickly get up to speed.
About You
You're someone who takes ownership, enjoys problem-solving, and thrives in a collaborative environment. You bring a proactive approach, strong attention to detail, and a genuine interest in delivering a high-quality payroll service.
Why Levande?
* Purpose-driven organisation focused on resident wellbeing
* Supportive and collaborative People & Culture team
* Opportunity to grow your payroll expertise in a national business
* Hybrid working environment
* Flexibility with part-time structure
If you're looking to step into a Senior Payroll role with a business that values quality, accountability and continuous improvement, we'd love to hear from you.
