Payroll Officer

**Who We Are**:
The Creams story is one of passion, commitmentand big flamboyant desserts. It took many years of research and tasting gelato, waffles and crepes (tough job but someone’s got to do it) to perfect the concept. But we persevered and, when we opened the first Creams in 2008 and soon had queues stretching out of the door, we knew we’d got something right.

Since then we’ve grown from strength to strength to 103 sites across the UK, fought off hordes of copycats, and become a High Street favourite up and down the land. We’re proud, naturally, to have given the world some of the best desserts known to man - but we’re even more proud of our commitment to diversity. People matter more to us than anything else (even ice-cream) and we open our arms to everyone both as customers and in our café teams. A bit like our desserts really - very colourful and lots of variety.
