This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives in a standalone role, enjoys managing payroll from start to finish, and is confident working with high-volume processing.

• Calculating hours using an internal time & attendance system
• Submitting RTI information
• Processing starters, leavers and employee changes
• Handling payroll adjustments
