We are seeking an experienced Payroll Specialist to join our dedicated finance team. This is a fantastic opportunity to earn while you learn, by achieving a Level 3 Payroll Administrator or Level 5 Payroll Assistant Manager Apprenticeship, based on current knowledge level, while gaining hands-on experience with industry-leading software like Workday.

You will play a vital role in supporting our payroll and benefits function for our UK & Ireland workforce, ensuring our employees are paid accurately and on time.

Salary: £30,000 - £36,000 + benefits

In conjunction with your Level 3 or Level 5 Payroll Apprenticeship, you will be trained to a high standard and be involved in a wide range of tasks, including:

• Assisting in the processing of our monthly payroll using Workday Payroll and managing employment tax compliance.

• Loading and reconciling payroll data to ensure accuracy.

• Serving as a key point of contact for employees and HR, helping to resolve queries related to payroll and benefits.

• Supporting the Payroll and Compliance Manager with testing transactions in Workday and implementing new legislative changes.

• Helping to fulfill information requests for audits and management reports.

• Working closely with the Head of Reward and Payroll Manager on exciting annual projects.

• Taking ownership of the benefit invoicing process and helping to manage supplier relationships.

• Identifying opportunities for process improvement and helping to implement them.
