Love getting the numbers right?
Do you take pride in getting every detail right? Do you want to grow your career in payroll? If so, this could be the role for you.
You'll help pay around 1,800 colleagues accurately and on time, every month. You'll also help shape what comes next, as we move from spreadsheets to modern, automated payroll.
What you'll do
- Process monthly payroll, including starters, leavers, changes, overtime and timesheets
- Work out statutory payments (SSP, SMP, SPP), deductions and attachment of earnings orders
- Look after pensions, RTI submissions and year-end tasks such as P60s
- Run payroll checks and reconciliations so pay is right first time
- Answer payroll queries from colleagues, and help us automate how we work
What you'll bring
- Experience in a payroll or payroll admin role
- Good knowledge of UK payroll: PAYE, NI, statutory payments and pensions
- A sharp eye for detail, even under tight monthly deadlines
- Good Excel skills, such as XLOOKUP and pivot tables
- Clear, friendly communication and a strong sense of confidentiality
It's a bonus if you've used a payroll system such as Sage. The same goes for high-volume, multi-site payroll, a CIPP qualification (or working towards one), or an interest in automation.
