Senior Payroll Administrator

Description

Are you a skilled and passionate payroll professional seeking a new challenge within the vibrant and creative arts sector? This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly respected and culturally influential organisation that plays a key role in shaping the future of film and television in the UK.

The Role:

We are seeking a Payroll Supervisor to take the reins of a varied and hands-on in-house payroll. You'll be managing the end-to-end processing of a complex monthly payroll for both permanent and contract staff, overseeing compliance, reporting, and employee queries - all within a collaborative, close-knit team.

This is a manual, high-touch payroll with plenty of scope to get involved in process reviews, enhancements, and projects, including system improvements. You'll also act as a key point of contact across HR, Finance and external bodies, so strong communication and stakeholder management is key.

Key Responsibilities:

End-to-end processing of monthly payroll, including starters, leavers, adjustments, pensions, benefits and statutory payments

Supervision of a small payroll team, ensuring accuracy, compliance and a high standard of service delivery (but also supported by a Payroll Manager)

Reconciliation of payroll reports and working closely with Finance for month-end and year-end processes

Managing and responding to payroll-related queries from staff and external stakeholders

Driving process improvement and supporting payroll system changes

Ensuring compliance with current legislation including HMRC, RTI, auto-enrolment and statutory deductions

About You:

Proven experience in a payroll or senior payroll position

Confident with manual calculations and complex payroll processes

Knowledge of pensions, statutory payments, and HMRC legislation

Excellent Excel skills and strong attention to detail

A proactive, supportive and team-oriented attitude

Experience in the creative, arts or not-for-profit sector is advantageous, but not essential

Why Join?

Work in an inspiring and culturally rich sector that celebrates creativity and innovation

Be part of a fantastic, collaborative payroll team with outstanding staff retention

Flexible hybrid working (1 days in the office)

Access to exclusive screenings, events, and internal development opportunities

A supportive environment that promotes wellbeing, inclusion and work-life balance

If you're looking for a fulfilling role in a dynamic organisation that truly values its people, this is your opportunity to make a real impact.
