Payroll administrator jobs in north london, middlesex county

The opportunities for mission and ministry have never been greater, but those called to this important work are under financed, under resourced and in some cases burning out. For all Christians, called to live and give generously, the pressures of modern life and confusion over how to give well, is restricting an abundant outpouring of generosity.

As Administrator, your role will support the work of our highly acclaimed teams serving our church and charity partners, specifically providing our payroll and consultancy services. Our professional services at Stewardship are in great demand and we are looking to build on the support we provide to UK churches and Christian charities. You will work alongside our award-winning Payroll Bureau team and our Consultancy Helpline with responsibility for building relationships with and serving a distinct group of churches and Christian charities.
