This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who’s confident with numbers, loves a good spreadsheet, and thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Why You’ll Love
This Role You won’t just be crunching numbers—you’ll play a key role in making sure employees are paid accurately and on time. From supporting 4-weekly payroll runs to assisting with P11Ds and statutory payments, you’ll be a trusted member of a friendly and supportive team.
If you're someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in getting the details right, and wants to work somewhere that genuinely values your skills—this could be your next career move.

• A sharp eye for detail and excellent data-handling skills
• A working knowledge of statutory payments (SSP, SMP, SPP, Tax, NI)
• Experience with payroll systems (Zellis ResourceLink and/or UKG would be a bonus!)
• Strong Excel skills and the ability to produce clear reports
• Confidence to work independently and as part of a wider team
• Flexibility to support with other office duties as needed
• A discreet and professional approach to confidentiality and GDPR

Your Day-to-Day Will Include:

• Supporting payroll runs on a 4-weekly cycle
• Assisting with annual audits and compliance checks
• Helping manage salary sacrifice schemes and P11Ds
• Liaising with HMRC where required
• Keeping systems updated and ensuring accurate records
• Meeting tight deadlines and juggling priorities with ease

• Long service awards
• Cycle to work scheme
