• Maintaining comprehensive and accurate payroll records and filing systems.
• Ensuring compliance with all payroll and pension legislation, including year-end processes and statutory reporting.

• Proven payroll experience, ideally within a multi-site or high-volume organisation.
• Strong working knowledge of payroll and pension legislation, including associated reporting obligations.
• Excellent attention to detail and a structured, methodical approach.
• Strong time management and organisational skills.
