Are you an experienced Administrator in Hull who enjoys working with numbers and has a great eye for detail? Do you feel confident working with timesheets, checking figures and accurately inputting information onto a system?

If so, this Payroll Support Administrator job in Hull could be exactly what you're looking for.

This is an excellent opportunity to join an established organisation in Hull as part of a friendly and supportive team. Working closely with the Payroll Manager, you'll provide accurate administration support across a busy payroll service, dealing with a variety of information, timesheets and employee records.

A key part of the role will involve taking information from timesheets and inputting this correctly onto the payroll system, making sure hours, rates and relevant allowances have all been recorded accurately. You'll therefore need to be methodical, comfortable with basic calculations and able to spot when something doesn't look quite right.

This could be a great opportunity if you're currently working in administration, finance, accounts, data entry or another numbers-based role and would like to develop your skills within payroll.

• Contacting customers when information is missing or needs to be clarified.
• Supporting pension administration and maintaining accurate records.
• Assisting with information and calculations required for audits.
• Maintaining and updating information across internal systems.
• Producing reports and ensuring information is recorded accurately.
• Handling sensitive personal and financial information confidentially.
• Working to regular payroll deadlines while maintaining a high level of accuracy.

• Good basic maths skills with the confidence to check hours, rates, allowances and calculations.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to spot errors or inconsistencies.
• A methodical approach to your work and an understanding of the importance of accuracy.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage your workload and work to regular deadlines.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office.
