Here’s what we’re looking for:

• 3 to 5 years’ minimum experience in managing UK payroll, with a strong understanding of HMRC regulations.
• Proficiency in using payroll software and systems (ADP preferred, Sage, or similar platforms)
• Experience in processing statutory payments and handling payroll deductions.
• Knowledge of auto-enrolment pension schemes and other employee benefits administration.
• Familiarity with Real Time Information (RTI) reporting requirements and procedures.

You will be organised and able to balance multiple priorities, comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.

You will also be comfortable communicating with colleagues at all levels, able to explain complex payroll issues clearly whether by email or verbally. Integrity and confidentiality are also paramount in this role, and you will be committed in your role to maintaining employee data security.
