Payroll Specialist

1 Days Old

Payroll Specialist | Global Brand
6 Month FTC - Strong potential to go permanent
2 Days in office | West London
Salary up to £55,000 depending on experience
Lots of fantastic perks and benefits & opportunity
We're partnering with a hugely recognisable, people-first brand to recruit a talented Payroll Specialist into their high-performing UK team of 5.
This is an exceptional opportunity to join a fast-paced, collaborative environment where payroll truly matters to the business. With responsibility for a large UK population (circa 10,000 employees), this role offers real ownership, exposure and the chance to work within a best-in-class in-house payroll function using ADP GlobalView.
There is strong potential for this role to become permanent for the right person.
The Opportunity
You'll be a key member of the UK payroll team, ensuring accurate and timely delivery of payroll while partnering closely with HR, Finance and external stakeholders.
Key responsibilities include:
End-to-end processing of high-volume UK payroll (circa 10k headcount)
Validating and processing 4-weekly timecard data
Managing and resolving payroll queries from stores and support teams
Calculating statutory payments (SMP, SPP, SSP and company sick pay)
Maintaining accurate payroll and personnel records
Processing starters, leavers and off-cycle payments
Supporting pension auto-enrolment activities
Partnering with ADP to investigate and resolve discrepancies
Assisting with payroll balance sheet reconciliations and month-end
Identifying process improvements and supporting payroll projects
What They're Looking For
This team needs someone who is calm under pressure, detail-obsessed and proactive, someone who spots issues before they become problems.
Essential
Proven experience running high-volume UK payroll
Strong knowledge of UK payroll legislation
Experience working with ADP (GlobalView ideally)
Excellent Excel skills
High attention to detail and accuracy
Confident stakeholder communication
Able to work independently in a fast-moving environment
Desirable
Retail or multi-site payroll experience
CIPP qualified Level 3 and above or studying
Experience within an in-house payroll function
Why This Role Stands Out
Work for a globally recognised, people-first brand
Large, complex UK payroll exposure
Best-in-class ADP environment
Supportive and genuinely lovely team
Fast-paced but collaborative culture
Hybrid working model
Strong chance to convert to permanent
Real opportunity to add value and improve processes
Interested? If you're a payroll professional who thrives in busy environments and wants exposure to a large, well-run payroll function, we'd love to hear from you.
