Sellick Partnership is currently recruiting for a Project Manager on behalf of our Local Authority client.
The Council has been live with Unit 4 since April 2023 and is now entering Phase 2 of the implementation. This phase includes multiple smaller projects aimed at maximising the system's potential, such as:

- Implementation of Proactis: Invoice capture and integration with Unit 4.
- Implementation of Avalara: VAT reconciliation.
- iTrent (HR & Payroll System): Transition to a fully managed service and software upgrade.
- Paygate: Migration to the cloud.
