About the role

As a Payroll Assistant, you will work within a welcoming team, reporting to the Payroll Team Leader or Payroll Manager. You’ll get involved in client work very quickly, initially supporting the wider team before taking on individual responsibility for delivering payroll services to your clients. Continuingly adapting to changing landscapes and with a brilliant infrastructure of specialists and training, you will be at the forefront of payroll, becoming a true expert and consultant.

This role provides great job satisfaction, development of an incredibly valuable skill set and a brilliant career with progression. You will benefit from on-the-job training from more senior members of the team, gain access to our internal training courses, and work towards the well-regarded Payroll Administrator Level 3 qualification, which typically takes around 12-18 months to complete, with the support of experienced mentors.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing team at an exciting part of the journey with excellent hybrid working (generally 2 days in the office after around 6 months). The variety of projects will challenge you every day, helping you expand your capabilities and grow professionally. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to broaden your horizons and discover a culture that nurtures individuality and celebrates fresh thinking

Responsibilities:-

  • Assisting with the accurate and timely in-house payroll production for various clients in accordance with statutory regulations and payroll deadlines.
  • Gaining knowledge of statutory and legislative regulations, including UK Tax legislation.
  • Applying changes to client payroll records including, starters, leavers, absences, salary  changes, pension deductions and various other pay adjustments.
  • Processing payments on behalf of our clients.
  • Submitting reports to HMRC in line with statutory deadlines.
  • Assisting with client enquiries and provide high standard of communication.
  • Working towards owning your own portfolio of clients where you will process the end-to-end payroll and build strong relationships with your clients.
  • Creating and running reports for clients, using our inhouse systems and Microsoft Excel.
  • Assisting with client billing and month end procedures.
  • Carrying out other duties which are within the scope, spirit and purpose of the job, the title of the role and its grading, as requested by the line manager or Head of Department.

About the ideal candidate

As this opportunity provides full training and development, the ideal applicant will have strong numerical abilities and proven experience with MS Office, in particular a basic practical knowledge of Excel. We welcome applicants with prior work experience in another field, who are looking for a career change, as well as school-leavers and graduates. If the latter, you will have 5 GCSEs graded 4-9 or an equivalent qualification graded A-C. An aptitude and passion for excellent customer service is essential whilst prior exposure to payroll or HR is advantageous but not a requirement.

Essential competencies:-

  • Strong attention to detail.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal with individuals at all levels.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
  • Good organisation and prioritisation skills, ensuring stringent deadlines are met.
