Salary

💰 £26,000 - £27,000 per year

About the role

  • Complex Payroll Processing: You'll manage the end-to-end process for approximately 2,500 employees, handling everything from basic pay to intricate shift patterns and overtime.
  • Manual Calculations: You’re comfortable stepping outside the system to manually calculate complex items like back pay, termination payments, HMRC tax codes, and family leave pay.
  • Benefits & Pensions: You’ll accurately process pension contributions and manage employee benefits administration within payroll.
  • Problem Resolution: You’ll manage overpayments, identify anomalies, and resolve employee queries efficiently within our agreed SLAs.
  • Collaborate: You’ll work closely within HR and Finance, preparing reports and resolving complex queries to keep our stakeholders informed and our employees happy.

Requirements

  • Proven Payroll Experience: You have solid experience in a fast-paced, high-volume payroll environment.
  • Calculation Confidence: You thrive on numerical accuracy and can handle complex manual calculations without breaking a sweat.
  • UK Legislation Know-How: You have strong knowledge of UK payroll legislation (PAYE, NI, statutory leave, pensions).
  • Discretion: You handle sensitive financial information with the utmost confidentiality.
  • Deadline Driven: You work well under pressure and meet strict deadlines without compromising accuracy.
  • A Helpful Approach: You’re a clear communicator who can explain complex pay queries to employees in a way that’s easy to understand.
  • System Savvy: If you’ve used Zellis before, that’s a massive plus, but as long as you’re comfortable with payroll platforms and data uploads, you’ll fit right in.
Benefits
  • 25 days' holiday (plus bank holidays), as well as an extra day after you've been with us for three, five and 10 years.
  • An extra day's paid leave each year to volunteer for a cause close to your community or your heart.
  • Big moment day - an extra day’s paid leave for a moment that matters to you - like getting married, moving house or welcoming a new addition to the family (human or furry!)
  • Bonus scheme - you'll get a stake in our success and a chance to add to your annual earnings.
  • Help saving for your retirement - we'll match your company pension contributions up to 6% and you can contribute through salary sacrifice.
  • Supportive and progressive people policies - we’re proud to have a range of policies to support people in their lives in and outside work, including enhanced family leave and policies to promote flexibility, inclusion and progression.
  • A healthcare cash plan - giving you money back for a range of medical expenses and fast access to doctor's appointments.
  • Car lease scheme - you can buy a brand new electric or hybrid car through our leasing partner, and pay for it through salary sacrifice.
  • Wellbeing support - including a 24/7 assistance programme for you and your family.
  • Access to lots of discounts - including 15% off with Reach's very own online marketplace, Yimbly, where you can buy everything from homewares to beauty products.
