Job Description & How to Apply Below

Payroll Administrator Own your client portfolio. Build genuine relationships. Be the payroll expert clients rely on.

We're working with a well-established and growing business looking for an experienced Payroll Administrator to manage a portfolio of weekly payroll clients from start to finish. This is far more than a processing role. You'll become the trusted point of contact for your clients, providing expert payroll support and building long-term relationships.

If you enjoy taking ownership, solving problems, and delivering an outstanding client experience, this could be the perfect opportunity.

The role

As Payroll Administrator, you will:

  • Manage a portfolio of weekly payroll clients, acting as their primary point of contact.
  • Process end-to-end payrolls, including starters, leavers, PAYE, pensions, statutory payments, P45s and P60s.
  • Complete HMRC submissions and ensure payrolls are accurate and compliant.
  • Support clients with payroll legislation updates, including IR35 and off-payroll working requirements.
  • Resolve complex payroll queries confidently and professionally.
  • Share knowledge with colleagues and contribute to continuous improvement across payroll processes and systems.
What we're looking for:
  • A minimum of 2 years' experience processing end-to-end payrolls.
  • Weekly payroll experience would be highly advantageous.
  • Strong customer service skills with a proactive, ownership-focused approach.
  • Good understanding of payroll legislation, PAYE, pensions, VAT and gross margin calculations.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to remain calm and organised under pressure.
  • CIPP qualification is desirable, but not essential.
What's in it for you?
  • Genuine ownership of your own client portfolio.
  • A varied role combining payroll expertise with account management responsibilities.
  • Supportive and experienced colleagues who are available when needed.
  • Ongoing training and development to keep your payroll knowledge up to date.
  • The opportunity to join a growing business where your contribution is genuinely valued.
