Payroll Supervisor

We are delighted to be partnered with our client, an established and highly reputable accountancy and financial services based business as they seek to recruit a Payroll Supervisor (12 month contract) to join their experienced and friendly team within their offices in Uckfield. This role could be extended past 12 months or could be made permanent.

My client works with businesses of varying sizes across the UK. They are currently seeking an experienced payroll at Supervisor level. Reporting to the Payroll Manager, you will have current payroll experience and be confident in managing a diverse client portfolio (consisting of weekly, fortnightly and monthly payrolls) including dealing with all client queries. Whilst this is fixed term contract role for a duration of 12 months, working Monday to Friday, 36.25 hrs per week, due to business growth levels there is strong potential for it becoming a permanent role in the future.

Hybrid working of 2 days at home / 3 in the office would be available after an initial training period.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a small but busy team within a very successful organisation.
