Your new role
In this newly created senior payroll officer / clerk's job, you will join the team which processes in excess of 6,000 employees across the UK. Therefore, you must have experience of processing a payroll from end-to-end and be fully aware of HMRC regulations and statutory deductions, as this is 100% payroll processing role as the team rotate the payroll duties. Your typical duties will involve checking payroll data prior to payment processing day, P11d's, calculating manual payments, processing 3rd party pension payments, county court judgements, managing any payroll queries from employees and managers, so confident communication skills are essential.

We expect you to have proven payroll experience, ideally with a formal qualification (CIPP) and able to demonstrate your knowledge of statutory deductions, PAYE payroll processes, Pension Auto Enrolment regulations, salary sacrifice agreements along with your confident IT skills.

As explained, this is a busy, demanding payroll department, where you will work to tight deadlines which, as an experienced payroll professional, is all part of the job.

What you'll get in return
The organisation offers a flexible and generous benefits package with a salary of circa £35,000 - £40,000 depending on experience, hybrid-working, pension scheme, free parking, 25 days' holiday plus the Bank Holidays.
