This is a hands-on payroll position, reporting to the Chief Accountant, with full responsibility for payroll processing, compliance, reporting, and continuous improvement initiatives. A structured handover will be provided by the current postholder.
This role would suit someone who has managed payroll for a similarly sized business or worked within a payroll outsourcing provider, handling high-volume, multi-frequency UK payrolls.

• Liaise with finance and HR teams to support joined-up operations
• Ensure full compliance with tax, pension, and payroll legislation
• Reconcile payroll data and produce regular payroll reports
• Maintain up-to-date payroll documentation and internal controls
What We're Looking For - Payroll Manager:
Essential:
• Minimum 3 years' end-to-end UK payroll experience
• Strong working knowledge of ADP payroll systems
• Experience managing multiple payrolls and supervising staff
• Sound understanding of UK payroll legislation and statutory requirements
• High attention to detail, strong organisation, and confident communication skills
Desirable:
• Background in a payroll bureau or outsourced payroll provider
• Experience in a multi-site organisation
• Exposure to payroll process automation or transformation
Key Attributes for Success:
• Proactive, can-do attitude with high energy
• Naturally hands-on, with ownership of the payroll function
• Capable of identifying and leading process improvements
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
• Clear, articulate communicator able to liaise across departments
Why Join?
• Flexible hybrid working (3 days in-office)
• Modern offices with onsite parking
• Just a 5-minute walk from Reading train station
• Supportive team and structured handover from outgoing Payroll Manager
