Our Story

West Sussex County Council is embarking on a major modernisation of the HR and payroll technology and processes that underpin the entire employee and customer experience across the organisation. We’re creating simpler, smarter, and more user‑friendly processes that help our people do their best work for the entire organisation and customers across the county.

The HR Shared Services Team has announced a series of new Team Leader, Officer and Administrator opportunities as it undertakes this significant transformation, seeking experienced payroll professionals to help deliver the change. These roles are essential to delivering the day‑to‑day payroll service, ensuring colleagues continue to be paid accurately and on time during the major upgrade of the payroll system. The new team members will help maintain continuity, accuracy, and high‑quality service throughout the transition, keeping core operations running smoothly as the new system is implemented.

Successful candidates will become part of a collaborative and supportive team. The roles offer an opportunity to contribute to a high‑profile transformation programme while playing a vital part in sustaining the core payroll service that thousands of employees rely on every month. If you’re experienced in payroll, confident working with complex data, and committed to delivering accurate pay and pensions for colleagues across the county, we’d love to hear from you.
