HR Specialist (Focus on Salaries & Social Insurance) 80%

«For every child in Switzerland a fulfilled childhood and a self-determined, responsible upbringing.»

This is our vision and currently around 200 employees and over 1000 volunteers throughout Switzerland are committed to it with great dedication and passion. With our offerings such as the emergency number 147, parent letters, application trainings, media usage workshops and many more, we support children and young people as well as their parents daily.

In 2023, Pro Juventute introduced collegial leadership as an organizational form. Decisions are made in circles. Responsibility is distributed across roles instead of being concentrated with hierarchical superiors. We place great value on participation, leadership, communication, and transparency throughout the entire team.

Would you also like to help shape and have a positive impact on children and young people in Switzerland? Then strengthen our team!

• You are responsible for the monthly payroll runs, account reconciliations in payroll accounting, and perform year-end tasks
• You are responsible for the entire administration in the area of social insurance
• You manage our time tracking tools and monitor absences, balances, and perform year-end tasks
• You are the first point of contact for inquiries in your area of responsibility for our employees in all language regions
• You support HR administration in daily work with recording mutations, entries and exits, training, etc.
• You actively contribute to making all HR processes future-proof

We are looking for a pragmatic, hands-on personality with a lot of motivation, drive, and joy in actively developing processes and workflows. At the same time, you work very carefully and responsibly – because you know that every detail counts in payroll accounting. You skillfully juggle between detail orientation and pragmatism and know when which focus is required. Additionally, we want someone who remains calm, composed, and solution-oriented in hectic situations, acts as a team player, and enjoys the job.

Ideally, you bring the following professional qualifications:

• Commercial basic training with further education in the area of salaries, social insurance, or as an HR specialist
• Several years of professional experience in a comparable position
• In-depth knowledge of Abacus
• Experience with L-GAV is an advantage
• Proficient use of Microsoft 365 and a strong affinity for digital tools
• Confident German (spoken & written), French and/or Italian skills are a big plus

And if you do not cover all the professional skills but are willing to take responsibility for the area and to engage with topics, acquire knowledge, and learn, we also look forward to your application.

We offer you a meaningful and challenging activity in a modern and rapidly developing non-profit organization at the Zurich location. With us, you can make a difference because you take responsibility for your area and have a lot of freedom to act. In addition, you have highly motivated colleagues who support each other.

We also have other benefits:

• 40-hour workweek with a generous mobile office policy for more flexibility
• Time to recharge: 6 weeks of vacation per year
• 5 paid training days (40 hours, independent of workload), which can be used freely
• 6 weeks paternity leave or 20 weeks maternity leave (from the 2nd year of service)
