Payroll Executive

Durham, Durham
Apply Now

Looking for a payroll position where the culture is genuinely collaborative, hybrid working is built in, and full-time doesn't mean 40+ hours?

This is a values-led professional services business with 200+ employees, known for its supportive culture and high standards. They're looking for an experienced Payroll Executive to take ownership of the monthly payroll cycle in a role that offers flexibility, trust and visibility.

Payroll is respected here. You won't be hidden in the background.

Why This Role Stands Out

* Hybrid working, with a minimum of 2 days in the office
* 35-hour full-time week
* Flexible culture - not a rigid 9-5
* Annual bonus scheme
* 25 days holiday + Christmas closure
* Employer pension + life assurance
* A genuinely values-driven, people-focused organisation

This is a business that prioritises cooperation, integrity and doing things properly, internally as well as for clients.

The Role

You'll take ownership of end-to-end payroll, working closely with Finance and HR to ensure everything runs accurately and compliantly.

* Full monthly payroll processing
* RTI submissions and PAYE/NIC reconciliations
* Pension and auto-enrolment management
* Benefits and P11D support
* Payroll reporting and audit support
* First point of contact for payroll queries

There's also scope to improve processes and strengthen controls; this isn't just a processing role.

What we're looking for

* Solid payroll experience in a medium/large UK organisation
* Strong knowledge of PAYE, NIC and statutory payments
* Experience with pensions and auto-enrolment
* Good Excel skills
* Experience with Sage Payroll would be an advantage, however experience using another payroll system will absolutely be considered
* High attention to detail and discretion

If you want a payroll role with flexibility, ownership and a culture that genuinely supports its people, this is worth exploring.
