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.

• 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 hours) with Mondays and Tuesdays fixed and the other days are flexible 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.
