Job Description:

Payroll Officer | Sheffield S9 | Up to £35,000

Are you an experienced payroll professional who enjoys working in a busy, high-volume environment? Or are you currently working in payroll administration and looking for the opportunity to step into a more end-to-end role?

I’m recruiting for a Payroll Officer to join a busy team managing 3 monthly payrolls covering around 5,000 employees.

The payroll is predominantly salaried, but there’s also variable hours and a significant amount of temporary data, so this is a role where attention to detail, organisation and the ability to manage high volumes really matter.

What you’ll be doing:

• Managing end-to-end payroll across 3 monthly payrolls
• Processing salaried and variable-hours employees
• Managing high volumes of temporary and time-sensitive data
• Working closely with HR and managers to ensure payroll runs smoothly
• Helping identify and improve payroll processes

What they’re looking for:

• End-to-end payroll experience OR payroll administration experience with a desire to develop
• Experience working with high volumes of payroll data
• Strong attention to detail and organisation
• Someone who can manage deadlines and stay calm under pressure
• Confident communication and a proactive approach

If you’re looking for a role where you can take ownership, work with a large and varied payroll and continue developing your career, I’d love to hear from you.
