Payroll Administrator

Payroll Administrator

Eastbourne Full-time, office-based with flexi-time £28,000 to £32,000 depending on experience

Are you a payroll person who likes getting it right, enjoys the variety of running lots of different payrolls, and wants to deal with clients directly rather than being stuck at the back of a big team? This one's worth a look.

A well-established, independent accountancy firm in Eastbourne is looking for a Payroll Administrator to join their friendly team. It's a proper end-to-end payroll role with real responsibility from day one, and plenty of client contact.

What you'll be doing

• Running up to around 150 client payrolls, all shapes and sizes.
• Handling starters, leavers, SSP, SMP, SPP, pension auto-enrolment and other deductions as they come up.
• Year-end processes, and calculating holiday entitlement and pay.
• Liaising directly with clients to gather information and offer advice and solutions.
• Completing and submitting BACS and pension enrolment forms, and everything HMRC needs.

What they're looking for

• Someone confident processing payroll and auto-enrolment from start to finish.
• Comfortable dealing with clients directly, and a genuinely good communicator.
• Organised, accurate, and happy juggling a few things at once.
• Experience with Sage Payroll is a plus, but not essential.
• Payroll experience from a practice or bureau is ideal, but strong in-house payroll people are very welcome too.

What's on offer

• £28,000 to £31,000, depending on experience.
• Flexi-time. It's office-based, but you choose your start and finish around fixed core hours of 10:00 to 12:30 and 14:30 to 16:30, working the rest flexibly anywhere between 08:00 and 18:30. Real control over your day.
• 20 days holiday plus bank holidays, rising with length of service.
• Health insurance, and team socials through the year.
• A supportive team where you're trusted to get on with it.
