As National Apprenticeship Week dawns upon us, we at IRIS are thrilled to celebrate the invaluable contributions of apprenticeships to both individuals and businesses alike. At IRIS, we take immense pride in our commitment to nurturing talent and fostering professional development. With over 60 individuals currently enrolled in apprenticeship programs across various departments, we stand as a beacon of opportunity and progression in our industry. These apprenticeships span a spectrum of disciplines, ranging from software engineering and data analysis to marketing and customer service. The essence of apprenticeships lies in their ability to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical application, providing individuals with hands-on experience and skills that are instrumental in their career journey. By offering apprenticeship opportunities, we not only invest in the future workforce but also cultivate a culture of continuous learning and innovation within our organization. Throughout this week, we celebrate the dedication and determination of our apprentices, whose unwavering commitment to personal and professional growth inspires us all. Their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn not only enrich their own lives but also contribute to the vibrancy and success of our workplace. Check out our Careers page to keep up to date with all our current opportunities. Happy National Apprenticeship Week! #NationalApprenticeshipWeek
We are thrilled to announce the launch of Every Payroll By IRIS, a cutting-edge payroll tailored specifically for the education sector. 🙌 At IRIS, our fervor for supporting our colleagues knows no bounds. Their commitment is the driving force behind making our payroll teams truly exceptional. We’re spotlighting Jess as part of our THRIVE programme, which aims to increase the representation of women at all levels in the business. Here’s Jess’s story: “I'm a Client Payroll Team Lead, I started working in Payroll by joining the "Career Switcher" programme six years ago. Previously I was working at Grimsby college as an exams manager, so was completely new to the payroll profession. Since joining the business, I've got my CPP qualifications and been promoted twice – now I lead a team of payroll processors!” “The THRIVE Value that stands out most to me is "hardworking". I'm organised, positive and a motivator to my team - we work really hard to ensure our deadlines are met and our clients get a great service... I'm really proud of my team and how we work together.” At IRIS, we believe in the power of continuous learning, growth, and creating an environment where our employees thrive both professionally and personally. This is what makes us a Great Place to Work™ Check out our current roles in our managed payroll services teams IRIS Careers | Opportunities, Projects and Benefits | IRIS #GreatPlacetoWorkforWomen #IRIS #PayrollInnovation #EmployeeS
