The Role
As Payroll Specialist, you’ll oversee the end-to-end payroll cycle, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timely delivery every month. You’ll also:
* Act as the first point of contact for payroll queries, providing clear and supportive guidance.
* Ensure all statutory requirements are met, including PAYE, NI, pensions, and deductions.

* A collaborative style, with the confidence to engage colleagues at all levels.
* Some people management experience (or the ambition to step into this for the first time).
Why Apply?
You’ll be joining a respected and stable organisation at the heart of the community. This isn’t just a payroll processing role, it’s a chance to take ownership of a high-volume payroll, lead a colleague, and play a key role in shaping how payroll is delivered moving forward. On top of that, you’ll benefit from generous holidays, a secure pension, and a mileage allowance to support your travel.
