• Running a small payroll
• Ad-hoc finance support as required

• Have exposure to payroll
• Be organised, detail-focused and able to prioritise effectively.
• Be confident, proactive and comfortable working independently.

What you'll get in return

• Competitive salary

• A varied and interesting role
• Supportive Financial Controller and friendly team environment
