Payroll Officer

Payroll Officer Plymouth – £30,000 – £35,000 – Full time – Permanent

If you're an experienced payroll professional looking for a varied and hands on role where your expertise will be genuinely valued, this is a great opportunity. I'm working with a well-established organisation based in Plymouth that is looking for a dependable and detail-oriented Payroll Officer to take ownership of the payroll function across a group of four companies.

This is a dedicated payroll role with real variety, covering a diverse mix of weekly, monthly and night shift payrolls for a combined workforce of 300 to 350 employees.

Responsibilities will include:

- Managing and processing end to end payrolls across four separate group entities, ensuring accuracy and timeliness at every stage.

- Submitting Real Time Information to HMRC in line with statutory deadlines and processing pension contributions in compliance with auto enrolment requirements.

- Generating and posting payroll journals to the finance system and maintaining payroll records in accordance with GDPR and company policies.

- Resolving payroll queries from employees and internal stakeholders with professionalism and discretion.

The ideal candidate will have solid end to end payroll experience and be comfortable managing multiple payroll runs independently. Proficiency with Sage 50 Payroll or a similar payroll software is essential, alongside strong Excel skills and a good working knowledge of timekeeping systems. A CIPP qualification or experience working across multiple legal entities would be a distinct advantage, though candidates who are qualified by experience are equally encouraged to apply.

This is a role for someone who takes real pride in getting payroll right every time. If you're a diligent, proactive payroll professional looking for a permanent position with a supportive and growing organisation in Plymouth, I'd encourage you to apply.

This vacancy is being managed by Steve Roach and the reference is SR11247.
