Jobbeschreibung

Hours: 24 hours per week (flexible working pattern, on-site) Type: Permanent, Part-Time

We're looking for a Payroll Specialist to take full ownership of an established payroll function for around 150 employees, as it transitions from HR back into Finance. This is a standalone role offering genuine autonomy, working closely with both Finance and HR to ensure payroll is delivered accurately, compliantly and on time. If you enjoy reconciliations, payroll accounting and working in a varied SME environment where no two months are quite the same, this could be an excellent opportunity.

What's in it for you?

• Monthly production bonus
• Flexible working pattern (24 hours per week)
• 24 days holiday (pro rata) plus bank holidays
• Company pension
• Private medical insurance (after probation)
• Healthcare cash plan
• Life assurance
• Free on-site gym
• Free weekly yoga and boxercise classes

Payroll Specialist role

This is a hands-on, standalone payroll position where you'll manage the complete monthly payroll cycle while supporting Finance with payroll journals, reconciliations and reporting. You'll be responsible for:

• Processing end-to-end monthly payroll for approximately 150 employees
• Managing starters, leavers, salary changes, overtime and statutory payments
• Preparing and balancing payroll journals
• Completing salary and gross-to-net reconciliations
• Administering pensions and employee benefits
• Managing payroll-related time and attendance data
• Supporting payroll integration for newly acquired businesses
• Liaising closely with HR, Finance and line managers
• Maintaining payroll records and ensuring legislative compliance

Payroll Specialist Profile

• Proven end-to-end payroll experience
• Experience preparing payroll journals and reconciliations
• Strong understanding of payroll accounting and double-entry bookkeeping
• Excellent Excel skills
• Experience working with payroll-linked benefits such as pensions and healthcare
• Strong attention to detail and analytical skills
• Experience using payroll software (ADP would be advantageous but isn't essential)
• The ability to work independently and confidently manage your own workload

This role will particularly suit someone who enjoys taking ownership, solving payroll queries and working in a business where Finance and HR work closely together.

Why apply?

This isn't a high-volume, heavily automated payroll environment. Instead, you'll become the payroll expert within a growing business, taking ownership of a varied payroll function while working alongside supportive Finance and HR teams. You'll have the autonomy to make the role your own, contribute to continuous improvements and play an important part in supporting a business that's continuing to grow through acquisition.
