Part Time – 25–30hours per week

JS Recruitment is delighted to be working with a well-established and values-driven organisation to recruit a Payroll Administrator on a part-time basis.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys a structured, process-focused role and is looking for flexibility and work-life balance. You’ll work closely with a trusted outsourced payroll provider, ensuring the smooth coordination of monthly and four-weekly payrolls, while supporting internal processes in a collaborative and friendly team.

This isn’t a high-pressure or standalone payroll role — instead, you’ll be a key link between the business and its payroll partner, helping to make sure everything runs smoothly for employees, with a focus on accuracy and communication rather than complex calculations.

Payroll Administrator – What You’ll Be Doing:

• Gather and check payroll information before sharing it with the external provider
• Coordinate pay-related changes (e.g. starters, leavers, adjustments)
• Liaise with the outsourced provider on queries and updates
• Support the administration of employee benefits including pensions and private healthcare
• Maintain accurate records of holidays and absences
• Be a helpful point of contact for staff with payroll-related queries
• Provide light support to managers using the Time & Attendance system

What We’re Looking For:

• Previous experience supporting or coordinating payroll processes (in-house or outsourced)
• Good understanding of payroll basics and employee benefits
• Comfortable working with spreadsheets and checking details
• Clear communicator who enjoys working with people
• Organised, reliable, and happy to work independently within a supportive team

Working Hours:
The role is part time (25-30hours) with Mondays and Tuesdays fixed and the other days areflexible to suit you. Additional hours may also be considered.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a friendly, people-focused organisation where your contributions will be valued. You’ll benefit from excellent benefits and flexibility, plus the chance to grow your skills in a supportive environment.
