Even the best workplaces fall apart if payday doesn't go to plan.
This company knows that getting people paid on time and accurately isn't just admin. It's critical. That's why they're looking for a Payroll Assistant who can bring precision, structure, and a problem-solving mindset to their team.
In this role, you won't just be inputting data, you'll be making sure the entire payroll process runs like clockwork, supporting HR, liaising with finance, and being a key part of what keeps the business moving.
What you'll be doing:
- Running full-cycle payroll each month, managing everything from new starters to final payments for leavers.
- Calculating and processing holiday pay, statutory leave, sick pay, bonuses, and deductions with absolute accuracy.
- Ensuring compliance with all HMRC requirements-including RTI submissions, pension contributions, and third-party payments.
- Acting as the first point of contact for payroll-related questions, resolving issues quickly and clearly.
- Keeping all payroll and HR data up to date and error-free-because accurate records matter.
- Preparing reports that help the business understand payroll trends, support decision-making, and stay compliant.
- Assisting with training tracking and compliance to support the wider People team.
What they're looking for:
- Experience in processing payroll from start to finish, with a solid understanding of UK payroll legislation.
- A sharp eye for detail and a proactive approach to spotting (and fixing) discrepancies.
- Strong Excel skills-you're comfortable with spreadsheets and know how to turn data into insights.
- Someone who's organised, reliable, and great at managing their own workload.
- A team player who understands how payroll connects with the wider goals of HR and finance.
What's on offer:
- A salary of £29,000 + bonus-because accuracy deserves recognition.
- At least 25 days' holiday plus Bank Holidays.
- Hybrid working: 2-3 days a week in their Leeds City Centre office, with flexibility built in.
If you're ready to take ownership of payroll in a role that really matters, hit apply.
