Summary
Your new company
An established organisation based in Manchester is seeking a payroll administrator to be based in their Lancashire office. With hybrid work available and a salary up to £32,000, this is an exciting opportunity to join a growing team where you'll have the freedom to use your expertise to deliver exceptional work.
Your new role
Reporting to the Payroll Supervisor and manager, you will be responsible for managing your own portfolio and processing payroll from start to finish. This is not a traditional processing role - you'll provide a payroll checking and advisory service to managers and employees, ensuring accuracy and compliance. Day-to-day, you'll validate payroll inputs, administer pensions and statutory payments, resolve data errors, handle employee queries, and maintain confidentiality while adhering to audit procedures.
What you'll need to succeed
You'll need strong knowledge of UK payroll legislation, statutory deductions and pension contributions, along with experience in end-to-end payroll processing, ideally using the PeopleXD system. Excellent communication and numeracy skills, the ability to work to tight deadlines, and a professional, customer-focused approach are essential.
What you'll get in return
In return, you'll receive hybrid work, a salary up to £30,000, free gym membership, access to an employee discount portal, cycle-to-work scheme, pension scheme, company sick pay, and opportunities for career progression, training and development.
