Senior Payroll Administrator

£30k - £37k per annum

Experienced Payroller | Accountancy Practice | Brighton | £30,000 – £37,000

We're recruiting on behalf of a well-regarded accountancy practice in Brighton who are looking for an Experienced Payroller to join their friendly, established team on a Full time basis. This isn't a churn-and-burn bureau role. It's a proper practice position where you'll own a varied client portfolio, be trusted to get on with it, and be genuinely valued for the expertise you bring.

The Role

  • You'll manage end-to-end payroll for a portfolio of clients across a range of sectors
  • Weekly, fortnightly, and monthly cycles, taking full responsibility for accuracy, compliance, and client relationships.
  • Day to day you'll be processing payrolls
  • Submitting RTI reports
  • Administering statutory payments (SSP, SMP, SPP)
  • Handling client queries, and keeping on top of ever-changing payroll legislation.
  • You'll be the person clients rely on with the benefit of a supportive team behind you.

About You

You'll be someone who's been around payroll long enough to handle it confidently. Ideally with practice or bureau experience behind you. You'll know your way around UK payroll legislation, you're comfortable managing multiple clients to tight deadlines, and you don't let things slip through the cracks.

Just as importantly, you're someone who communicates well. Clients trust you and colleagues enjoy working with you. You care about getting it right.

What's On Offer

£30,000 – £37,000 depending on experience

Genuine progression and development opportunities

A collaborative, supportive team that actually means it

A firm with a strong local reputation and low staff turnover

Why This Firm?

This is a practice that invests in its people. Staff stay here, which tells you everything. It's the kind of place where you can build a long-term career, not just fill a seat.

If you're ready for a role where your payroll expertise is genuinely appreciated apply now or get in touch for a confidential conversation.
