Payroll Administrator

Sewell Wallis Ltd • Permanent • Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom • £30k - £35k / year • 16h ago

Sewell Wallis is delighted to be working with a fantastic South Yorkshire social care business to recruit a Group Payroll Assistant to join their central office team in Sheffield.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced payroll professional who enjoys working in a varied role and is confident managing payroll from start to finish, while also supporting the wider operational requirements of a growing care group.

Reporting directly to the Group Financial Controller, you will take ownership of payroll for 150+ employees across multiple payrolls, ensuring everything is processed accurately, efficiently and within critical deadlines. Alongside payroll, you will play an important role in staff rostering, annual leave administration and workforce reporting.

What will you be doing?

Processing end-to-end payroll for 150+ employees across multiple payrolls.
Maintaining accurate payroll records, including starters, leavers, contractual changes, salary amendments and deductions.
Calculating and processing statutory payments including SSP and SMP.
Completing payroll reconciliations and appropriate pre-payroll checks.
Preparing and submitting BACS payment files within agreed deadlines.
Producing payroll and management reports for finance and operational teams.
Working closely with HR to review and process FWR received across the business.
Responding professionally and promptly to employee payroll queries.
Managing the full annual leave process for the business.
Monitoring pension enrolment, opt-ins, opt-outs and other pension changes.
Preparing and uploading pension contribution information to the relevant provider.
Reconciling pension deductions and contributions.
Supporting the preparation and maintenance of staff rotas across the care services.
Ensuring rotas reflect staffing requirements, availability and contracted hours.
Coordinating rota changes relating to sickness, absence, annual leave and additional staffing requirements.
Liaising with managers and employees to resolve rostering issues and identify staffing gaps.
Ensuring hours worked and additional shifts are accurately captured for payroll.
Producing regular payroll, pension, staffing and rostering reports.
Assisting the Group Financial Controller with payroll analysis, reconciliations and audits.
Providing supporting information for audits and undertaking other reasonable finance and administrative duties.

What skills are we looking for?

We're looking for an experienced payroll professional who is highly organised, meticulous and comfortable working to non-negotiable deadlines.

You will ideally have:

At least 5 years' experience in a payroll-focused position.
Strong knowledge of employment legislation relating to payroll, annual leave and statutory payments.
Experience of staff rostering and scheduling.
A payroll qualification or relevant professional qualification.
Strong MS Excel skills, alongside good knowledge of Word and Outlook.
Excellent communication skills and the confidence to explain findings and deal with payroll queries.
GCSE English Language and Maths at Grade C or equivalent.
A full UK driving licence would be desirable.

The person

This role would suit someone who takes real ownership of their work and enjoys being the go-to person for payroll queries.

You'll need to be accurate, methodical and highly organised, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to remain calm when priorities change. You'll also be someone who is proactive enough to identify issues and find solutions, rather than waiting for problems to escalate.

Given the confidential nature of payroll, discretion and trustworthiness are essential. You'll be equally comfortable working independently and as part of a wider team, and you'll have a professional and approachable manner when dealing with employees and managers.

Most importantly, you'll be committed to supporting the delivery of high-quality care through effective workforce administration.

What's on offer?

A competitive salary of up to £35000
28 days' annual leave
Pension Contribution
