Job description

Part- Time Payroll Clerk

Oldham

£30,000 - £32,000 - Pro-Rata

My client's Payroll Clerk is retiring at the end of 2026 after years with the business, and rather than leaving it last minute to replace her, they're doing things properly.

They want to bring someone in early to work alongside her, soak up her knowledge and enjoy the kind of handover most people only dream about.

The non-negotiables?

• Payroll experience
• You know your way around an Excel spreadsheet - you don't need to be a whizz by any stretch but it's a package you'll use daily to prepare the payroll!
• You'll need to be in the office every Monday and Tuesday (16 hours a week)
• Looking for 20 hours a week? No problem. They'll happily top your hours up with general office support across another day.

Why you’ll want this one

• A business where people genuinely stay
• Friendly, approachable colleagues who’ll make you feel part of the team from day one
• A rare chance to inherit a role that’s been looked after, not left in chaos
• Perfect for someone local wanting a part‑time job they can settle into for the long term

These opportunities don’t come around very often. If you’re looking for a part‑time payroll role where you’ll be welcomed, supported, and set up for success from day one, let’s have a chat.
