Payroll Administrator - Headstar : Job Details

Payroll - it's like Marmite, you love it or you hate it.

This role isn't for someone who gets bored after running a couple of starter/leaver calculations. It's for someone who can take ownership of payroll for nearly 1,800 people spread across the UK.

You'll be working alongside the Finance Director, so you'll have a say in how things are run, and in an expanding business, there are plenty of things that need running better.

What you'll be doing:

• Running payroll end-to-end (fortnightly and monthly).
• Making sure HMRC don't come knocking (RTI, EPS, P11D, year-end… all the acronyms).
• Keeping on top of pensions (auto enrolment, re-declarations, NEST submissions).
• Keeping the time & attendance system honest.
• Fielding queries from the payroll inbox and actually solving them.
• Making sure NMW compliance isn't something we only pretend to care about.
• Gender Pay reporting once a year.

What we need from you:

• Minimum of 2 years' payroll experience.
• CIPP Level 3 (an "nice to have" but not an essential).
• If you know your way around Sage 50, that's a bonus.
• If Excel makes you sweat, this isn't going to end well (think pivots and VLOOKUPs, not SUM).
• A forensic eye for detail.

What you'll get:

• An annual salary of up to £30k DOE.
• The choice of permanent full-time or part-time, they're flexible.
• A growing business with plenty of room for you to grow with it.

It's not glamorous. You won't be "transforming payroll strategy" or "delivering change at pace." You'll be making sure 1,800 people get paid on time and correctly. Which, for the right person, is exactly the kind of satisfaction you're after.
