· Process statutory requirements such as tax, NIC, pensions, RTI submissions, and P11Ds.
· Prepare and deliver accurate payroll reports for internal stakeholders and support external audits as required.
Who are we looking for?

* Excellent understanding of UK payroll legislation, statutory payments, and compliance requirements.
* Comfortable working with a mix of automated and manual payroll processes.

* Highly organised with strong prioritisation skills and a commitment to continuous improvement.
