St LeonardsonSea TN LB, United Kingdom St Michael's Hospice Full time

Are you a detail-oriented professional with a passion for precision and deadlines?

We're on the lookout for a proactive and experienced Interim Payroll and Pensions Lead to join our friendly and dedicated Accounts and Payroll team for between 6 to 9 months.

In this pivotal temporary role, you'll report to the Senior Financial Analyst and Payroll Manager, taking full ownership of our end-to-end payroll and pensions processes, currently managed in-house using Sage Payroll. You'll also play a key role in supporting the transition to an external Payroll Bureau, helping to shape the future of our payroll operations.

Working closely with our HR team, you'll ensure employee data is accurate and up to date, while serving as the go-to expert for all payroll and pension-related queries. While experience with NHS pensions is a plus, it's not essential.

We're looking for someone who brings:

  • Extensive experience in payroll processing and a strong working knowledge of Sage Payroll
  • Up-to-date understanding of employment and tax legislation related to pay and benefits
  • Confidence in handling timesheet calculations and reconciliations
  • A collaborative mindset, with the ability to support wider finance and office functions
  • A solution-focused approach, integrity, and a commitment to confidentiality

At St Michael's Hospice we offer a friendly, team orientated work environment – a good pension scheme with the option to continue any existing NHS pension scheme membership, an Employee Assistance Programme, Benenden Healthcare, up to 27 days annual leave plus bank holidays, subsidised employee meals and free refreshments, free parking, supportive supervision and a proactive Education Department to support with your development. Hospice employees also qualify for a Blue Light Card with access to a huge array of discounts.

Please note CVs will not be accepted, unless candidates are unable to complete the application form due to a disability, in which case please contact the HR team.
