Full job descriptionYour new company
Your new company is a well-established and growing organisation based in Preston, offering a stable and supportive working environment. The business places real emphasis on collaboration, employee wellbeing, and delivering high-quality services, with payroll recognised as a key function within the wider finance and HR teams. They are now seeking an experienced Payroll Officer to join their team on a full time and permanent basis, based from their offices in Preston.

Your new role
In your new job as Payroll Officer, you will take full responsibility for the end-to-end payroll process for approximately 800 employees, ensuring they are paid accurately and on time. Your role will include processing monthly payroll, managing starters and leavers, calculating PAYE, National Insurance, pensions and statutory payments, submitting RTI reports to HMRC, producing payslips and year-end documentation, and resolving payroll queries while working closely with internal stakeholders.
