As a Payroll Specialist, you will be responsible for the provision of an efficient and effective payroll service ensuring customers (staff and pensioners) are paid accurately.

• Using Microsoft Office applications - especially Excel

• Organising and prioritisation of tasks from multiple customers

• Training and development of Finance Analysts and/or graduates and apprentices

We recognise that great people don't always 'tick every box'. That's why we focus on your potential, your fit with our values, your transferable skills as well as your experience. Even if you don't meet every point below, but you feel that this role and AWE are a great fit for you, please go ahead and apply, we'd love to receive your application.

Some reasons we think you'll love it here:

  • 9-day working fortnight - meaning you get every other Friday off work.
  • 270 hours holiday
  • Market leading contributory pension scheme (we will pay between 9% and 13% of your pensionable pay depending on your contributions).


The 'Working at AWE' page on our website is where you can find full details in the 'AWE Benefits Guide'.
