Job Overview
About The Role
We’re on the lookout for a brilliant Payroll Specialist who’s got a head for numbers, a love for detail, and a passion for making sure everyone gets paid correctly and on time (because who doesn’t love payday?). You’ll be the go-to person for all things payroll—keeping things running smoothly, staying on top of compliance and legislation, and making sure our people feel supported and confident when it comes to their pay, ensuring accurate and timely processing of employee payroll.
We believe our people are our superpower. That’s why we’re all in, together, five days a week onsite—because creativity, collaboration, and growth thrive when we’re face-to-face. If a £1 bet in a pub between two mates can become the UK’s most trusted electrical retailer, just imagine what we can do next.
Here's What You Can Expect To Be Doing
* Running payroll from start to finish on a weekly and monthly basis
* Maintaining and updating payroll records including new starters, leavers, and changes in pay or benefits
* Ensure compliance with statutory regulations (e.g., tax, pension, national insurance).
* Spotting and sorting any payroll hiccups before they become a problem.
* Teaming up with our HR and Finance teams to keep everything aligned.
* Prepare and submit payroll-related reports to internal stakeholders and external agencies
* Answering questions from our team about pay, benefits, and deductions.
* Supporting with audits and keeping everything confidential and secure.
* Staying sharp on payroll legislation and best practices.
* Supporting our Payroll Administrator and wider Payroll team
A Few Things About You
* A payroll certification (e.g., CIPP, APA) is a plus, as is experience with HRIS or ERP systems.
* Familiar with relevant payroll legislation and statutory requirements.
* Able to communicate clearly and handle sensitive information with discretion.
* Proficient in payroll software (e.g., ADP, Sage, Workday) and Excel.
* You’ll be organised, detail-focused, and manage your time effectively.
A Bit About Us
When it comes to appliances and electricals, we’ve got the lot. Washing machines? Yep. TVs? Check. Laptops? Absolutely. Everything except doorbells (just kidding, we’ve got those too).
We’re known for helping our customers brilliantly - and it’s no different for AOers. We care about more than what’s on your CV, because together we can do extraordinary things.
