PSS is seeking to appoint an HR and Payroll Administrator to provide core administrative support to the Head of HR and Payroll and a team of five. The role is responsible for the day-to-day administration of HR and payroll services for approximately 1,300 employees across the UK, in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
While payroll experience is desirable, HR administration experience is essential. The role requires excellent attention to detail and strong numeracy, as you will calculate tax, National Insurance (NI), Statutory Sick Pay (SSP), Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP), and other payroll elements.

Key Responsibilities
* Manage the employee lifecycle: onboarding, changes, absence, and leavers.
* Maintain compliance documentation and accurate HR records.
* Support payroll processing: validate inputs, assist with statutory calculations, and process leavers.
* Handle general admin tasks and act as a first point of contact for employees.
What We’re Looking For
* Proven HR administration experience and knowledge of UK employment practices.
* Strong attention to detail, organisation, and confidentiality.
* Excellent communication and customer service skills.
* Desirable: Payroll experience, Health & Safety law knowledge, and proficiency with MS Office/HR systems.
Attributes
* Proactive, reliable, and able to work under pressure.
* Team player with a commitment to accuracy and continuous improvement.
