Payroll Administrator

If you know payroll inside out and like the idea of running your own portfolio without being buried in red tape, this one's worth a look.

A well-established, ACCA-registered accountancy firm in Sussex is looking for a Payroll Administrator to join their friendly team of 20-plus. They look after a broad mix of owner-managed businesses, so no two payrolls are quite the same, and you'll be given real responsibility from day one.

This is an established role with a settled client portfolio ready for you to take over, so you're stepping into something that already works rather than starting from scratch.

Happy to hear from both practice and industry payroll people. If you've run payroll in-house and fancy the variety that comes with a client-facing role, don't rule yourself out.

What you'll be doing:

• Running up to around 150 client payrolls of varying sizes, start to finish
• Handling starters, leavers, SSP, SMP, SPP and auto-enrolment pension contributions
• Managing year-end processes
• Calculating holiday entitlement and pay
• Liaising directly with clients, answering queries and offering practical advice
• Completing BACS and pension submissions, and filing everything HMRC needs

What they're looking for:

• Solid, hands-on payroll experience (practice or industry both welcome)
• Confidence processing payroll and auto-enrolmen...
