Your new company
Join a well-established payroll bureau based in Plymouth, providing accurate and timely payroll services to a diverse client base. The team is known for its professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to excellent service.
Your new role
As a Payroll Officer, you’ll manage your own portfolio of clients with complex payroll needs. You’ll be responsible for processing end-to-end payroll, handling statutory payments, liaising with HMRC, and providing first-line support for payroll queries. This is a full-time, office-based role (Monday to Friday, 37.5 hours per week) with no hybrid or remote working.

- Strong numeracy, organisation, and attention to detail.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Confidence in handling confidential information.
- GCSEs in English and Maths (Grade C or above).
- A payroll qualification (e.g. CIPP) is desirable but not essential.
What you'll get in return
- A stable, full-time role in a supportive and professional environment.
- The opportunity to manage your own client portfolio and develop specialist payroll expertise.
- A three-month contract with potential for extension or permanent placement.
- A chance to work closely with clients and make a real impact.
