Payroll Department Manager

Scunthorpe, England, United Kingdom

8/4/2025

At Humber Health Partnership, we know that payroll is more than just numbers – it’s also about our staff. Every payslip represents someone’s dedication and care in supporting us to deliver high quality patient care for our population. That’s why we are looking for a Payroll Department Manager for the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust who not only brings technical expertise but also a deep sense of responsibility, understanding and compassion to the role.

This is your opportunity to lead a vital service within one of the NHS’s largest and most forward-thinking healthcare partnerships. With over 26,000 staff across Hull University Teaching Hospitals and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust, you’ll be part of a supportive team ensuring every member of our workforce is paid accurately, on time, and with care.

Working closely with colleagues across HR, finance, rostering and clinical services you will offer expert guidance on everything from pay, terms and conditions to pensions, and from statutory compliance to system and process transformation.

We are not only looking for someone who can thrive as we transform our services but someone who can navigate complexity with confidence, communicate with clarity, and lead with empathy and passion. You’ll bring a wealth of knowledge, ideally backed by a CIPP qualification or equivalent experience, and a passion for continuous improvement. Whether you are linking in with our workforce or mentoring and leading your team you will be working for an organisation that is leading innovation in healthcare underpinned by excellent support services.

In return, we offer more than just a job. You’ll be part of a people first culture, where flexible working is supported and wellbeing is a priority. Beyond the workplace, you’ll find a region full of opportunity. From the rolling hills of Lincolnshire with easy access to the vibrant city of Hull, this is a place where you can build a life as well as well as a career. If you’re ready to lead with purpose and deliver with pride, we’d love to hear from you.

The Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest acute and community Partnership arrangements in the NHS, seeing well over one million patients every year and managing a budget of over £1.3 billion.

Made up of two Trusts - Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) - our Partnership has significant ambitions and is committed to delivering world-class hospital and community services for the 1.65 million people we serve.

Together we employ nearly 20,000 staff. Our five main hospital sites are Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital, Scunthorpe General Hospital and Goole and District Hospital, for NLAG and Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital for HUTH.

We believe that by developing a diverse, inclusive, innovative, skilled and caring workforce, we can deliver excellent care to our patients and a great future for our employees, our Partnership and our community.
