This role has become available to provide cover during an employee’s notice period and would suit an experienced payroll professional who can quickly take ownership of an established payroll function and provide continuity during a period of transition.

Reporting to the Group Accountant, you’ll oversee payroll for more than 200 employees across a mix of salaried, hourly-paid and shift-based workers, whilst providing leadership and support to a small payroll team.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Managing the end-to-end payroll process for 190+ employees

We’re looking for an experienced payroll professional with strong technical knowledge of UK payroll legislation and a proven background managing complex payrolls. You’ll be highly organised, detail-focused and confident working with stakeholders across the business. Previous experience managing or supervising a payroll team is essential, whilst experience using Sage Payroll or PayCircle would be advantageous.

This is a great opportunity to join a supportive and well-established finance team and play a key role in ensuring the smooth delivery of an important business function. The successful candidate will ideally be available to start at short notice.
