Job description

Payroll Administrator Eastbourne Full-time, office-based with flexi-time £28,000 to £32,000 depending on experience

A well‑established, independent accountancy firm in Eastbourne is looking for a Payroll Administrator to join their friendly team. It's a proper end‑to‑end payroll role with real responsibility from day one, and plenty of client contact.

What you’ll be doing

• Running up to around 150 client payrolls, all shapes and sizes.
• Handling starters, leavers, SSP, SMP, SPP, pension auto‑enrolment and other deductions as they come up.
• Year‑end processes, and calculating holiday entitlement and pay.
• Liaising directly with clients to gather information and offer advice and solutions.
• Completing and submitting BACS and pension enrolment forms, and everything HMRC needs.

What they’re looking for

• Someone confident processing payroll and auto‑enrolment from start to finish.
• Comfortable dealing with clients directly, and a genuinely good communicator.
• Organised, accurate, and happy juggling a few things at once.
• Experience with Sage Payroll is a plus, but not essential.
• Payroll experience from a practice or bureau is ideal, but strong in‑house payroll people are very welcome too.

What’s on offer

• £28,000 to £31,000, depending on experience.
• Flexi‑time. It’s office‑based, but you choose your start and finish around fixed core hours of 10:00 to 12:30 and 14:30 to 16:30, working the rest flexibly anywhere between 08:00 and 18:30. Real control over your day.
• 20 days holiday plus bank holidays, rising with length of service.
• Health insurance, and team socials through the year.
• A supportive team where you’re trusted to get on with it.
