About this job

The Role

This is a focused, hands-on payroll processing role sitting within an established finance and payroll team, reporting directly into our Payroll Manager. You will act as a key independent operator in managing end-to-end processing for 100 client payrolls, totaling approximately 1,500 payslips. We are looking for an experienced professional to handle these operations independently, with initial support from the manager, offering a fantastic opportunity that can convert into a permanent position.

What We Offer

Working Style: Part-time hours (around 20 to 30 hours per week) with a flexible hybrid model requiring just one day per week in our Liverpool City Centre office (reducing further once you are fully settled and comfortable in the role)
Career Progression: Genuine opportunity to convert from a temporary contract into a permanent role
Process: Efficient recruitment process consisting of a single Microsoft Teams interview

Key Responsibilities

Manage and execute end-to-end payroll processing for a portfolio of 100 clients, handling roughly 1,500 payslips.
Work autonomously to ensure accurate and timely payroll delivery, collaborating with and reporting directly to the Payroll Manager.
Complete data entry, statutory calculations, and compliance checks for all client payroll runs.
Efficiently resolve payroll-related queries from clients and internal stakeholders.

About You

Experience: Proven background in independent, end-to-end payroll processing, ideally within a bureau or multi-client environment.
Systems: Must be fully familiar with BrightPay payroll software, while additional experience with Xero Payroll is highly desirable.
Attributes: A self-starter capable of managing workload independently while maintaining high accuracy and attention to detail.
