Payroll Officer

Are you an experienced Payroll professional looking for your next opportunity? Or perhaps you're a Payroll Administrator ready to step up into a more involved role?

We're working in partnership with a well-established manufacturing business in the Midlands who are looking to welcome a Payroll Officer into their friendly and supportive team.

This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of the payroll process while also gaining exposure to broader HR activities.

The Role

As Payroll Officer, you'll play a key role in ensuring employees are paid accurately and on time. You'll be responsible for managing both weekly and monthly payroll cycles, while supporting the Head of HR with day-to-day administrative duties.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Processing weekly and monthly payroll from start to finish
• Inputting and maintaining accurate payroll data (starters, leavers, overtime, sickness and expenses)
• Ensuring compliance with HMRC regulations, including PAYE, NIC, pensions and auto-enrolment
• Checking payroll reports and submitting for approval
• Handling employee payroll queries in a professional and timely manner
• Producing payroll reports for Finance and supporting payments to employees and third parties
• Maintaining accurate payroll records
• Supporting continuous improvements within payroll processes
• Assisting with HR administration when required

About You

We're looking for someone who is detail-oriented, organised and enjoys working as part of a collaborative team.

You will ideally have:

• Previous experience in a payroll position
• Knowledge of HMRC regulations and payroll compliance
• Strong IT and organisational skills
• Excellent communication skills
• A proactive, "can-do" attitude
• The ability to manage deadlines and stay calm under pressure

Experience with Moorepay or a payroll qualification would be beneficial, but not essential.

What's on Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Hybrid working and some flexibility
• A supportive working environment
• Opportunity to develop your career within payroll and HR

If this sounds like the right fit for you, we'd love to hear from you.
