Payroll Assistant

  • Brighouse
  • £28,000 - £29,000 GBP / Year
  • Salary: £28,000 - £29,000

Headstar

This part-time payroll assistant role is for someone who knows their way around numbers and appreciates the details without needing a spotlight.

You'll be based in Brighouse, working 22.5 hours a week over three days. This one's entirely office-based, with a bit of holiday and payroll cover thrown in.

Your main role as a payroll assistant is to keep the monthly payroll running smoothly for over 300 employees. You'll be handling everything from end-to-end payroll processing, timesheets, and dealing with SSP, SMP, and pensions, to setting up new starters and managing leavers. It's the nuts and bolts stuff that keeps the team going.

You'll be expected to handle your tasks with minimal fuss, prioritise like a pro, and make sure everything's accurate. No hand-holding, just trust in your skills to keep things ticking over. You'll also have a hand in supporting HR – think contracts, meeting notes, and maintaining records.

If you've got experience with Sage 50 Payroll, that's a big plus. Microsoft Excel should be your go-to, especially if you're comfortable with VLookups.

The salary sits at £16,965 (£28,275 FTE), with benefits like life cover, discounts, and a 24/7 GP service. Plus, there's a solid pension plan too.

To do this job, you'll need at least a year or two in payroll. Strong numeracy and attention to detail are your best friends here. You've got to be good under pressure and know your way around Sage and Excel.
