About the role

As Payroll Officer, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day delivery of payroll services across Living My Way, ensuring payroll is processed accurately, employees are supported, and legislative and award obligations are met.

In addition to payroll, you'll work closely with the wider Finance team to assist with reconciliations and transactional processing during peak periods and leave coverage. This variety makes the role an excellent opportunity to broaden your experience while contributing to the success of the team.

 You will also bring:

• Experience processing end-to-end payroll (ideally 1–2 years or more).

• Knowledge of Australian payroll legislation and the National Employment Standards (NES).

• Strong award interpretation skills, with SCHADS Award experience highly regarded.

• Experience using payroll systems and strong Microsoft Excel skills.

• Excellent attention to detail, organisational and problem-solving skills.

• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.

• Permanent work rights in Australia.

• A current NDIS Worker Screening Check and Working with Children Check, or the ability to obtain them.

You'll stand out if you also have:

• Experience in the disability, community services or not-for-profit sector.

• Exposure to finance processes, including reconciliations or transactional processing.

• A passion for improving processes and delivering an exceptional employee experience.
