We're recruiting for a Payroll Officer to join a growing team responsible for administering payrolls within a specialist pensions environment.

• Responding to payroll-related queries and providing excellent customer service.
• Supporting the onboarding of new payrolls and maintaining accurate audit trails.
• Ensuring compliance with payroll legislation, internal procedures and reporting requirements.

• Experience processing payroll from start to finish.
• Strong knowledge of PAYE, National Insurance and payroll legislation.
• Experience working with payroll systems.
• Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills.
• A proactive approach and a commitment to delivering a high-quality payroll service.
• CIPP qualification, or a willingness to work towards one, would be an advantage.
