Bring your attention to detail and passion for payroll accuracy to a collaborative and community-focused finance team.
As one of the fastest-growing council areas in South Australia, the City of Playford is focused on building sustainable foundations and places the community at the heart of everything we do. With our urban centre as the CBD of Northern Adelaide, our city is enriched by growing and diverse communities in new and established suburbs, rural townships, and horticultural lands.

With strong attention to detail and a high level of accuracy, you can confidently manage end-to-end payroll processes and meet critical deadlines. Your ability to provide clear, professional advice on payroll matters and maintain confidentiality is key to your success in this role. You have strong skills in payroll systems and Microsoft Excel and ideally experience with Technology One.
