This is a fully remote position, allowing you the flexibility to work from the comfort of your home, anywhere within the UK, while being part of a Manchester-based operational hub.

Whether you’re taking your first steps into payroll or looking to pivot your existing administrative skills, this role offers a structured pathway to become a proficient Payroll Specialist.
As a vital member of our finance department, you will be instrumental in ensuring the accurate and timely processing of our internal payroll and potentially client payrolls as you develop. This role demands meticulous attention to detail, a strong ethical compass, and a proactive approach to problem-solving. You will learn to navigate various payroll software, understand complex tax regulations, and become a go-to person for employee queries related to pay. Beyond just numbers, you’ll be contributing to the well-being and satisfaction of our diverse workforce, making your role incredibly impactful.
We are looking for someone who is eager to learn, highly organised, and possesses excellent communication skills. While prior payroll experience is beneficial, it is not a prerequisite.

Our supportive team environment encourages collaboration and continuous improvement, ensuring you are never alone in your learning journey.
