Part time Payroll Advisor (12-Month Fixed term Contract)
Salary: £21,492 (FTE £35,343 pro-rata)
Location: North Somerset (with agile working options)
Contract: Fixed Term - 12 months (Maternity Cover), Part-Time
Benefits Include: Flexible working, healthcare cash plan, rewards portal
The Opportunity
We're working with a fantastic client in the not-for-profit sector who's looking for an experienced Payroll Advisor to join their friendly and dedicated team. This is a part-time maternity cover role for 12 months, offering 22.5 hours per week-how those hours are split across the week is open for discussion, so there's some flexibility built in.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the detail and rhythm of payroll but also wants to be part of a collaborative, values-driven team making a real difference in the community.
The Role
As Payroll Advisor, you'll take the lead on running in-house payroll processes for around 350 colleagues, via the HR system. Your work will ensure accurate and compliant payroll each month, as well as support key HR lifecycle changes such as promotions, contract changes, and leavers.
You'll also act as a key point of advice for internal stakeholders on HMRC guidance, pension processes, and legislative compliance.
Beyond the day-to-day, you'll be part of ongoing improvement projects-recent initiatives have included the introduction of Payrolling of Benefits, for example.
There's also a new reward and discount platform in the pipeline, so if you enjoy being part of projects that shape future processes, this role will tick a lot of boxes.
The organisation values continuous development and supports this with paid professional membership (e.g., CIPP) to help you stay sharp and current.
About You
To hit the ground running, you'll need to bring:
- Proven experience of leading monthly/year-end payroll in-house
- Familiarity with the full HR lifecycle-handling changes to contracts, starters, leavers, etc.
- Strong working knowledge of payroll legislation, pensions, and HMRC processes
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain complex info clearly
- Confidence in making evidence-based decisions and managing your workload with minimal fuss
- Brilliant attention to detail and a genuine team-player attitude
This is a team that works hard but enjoys what they do-and they'll welcome someone with a positive outlook, curiosity for better ways of working, and a customer-first mindset.
Why This Role?
Our client is well-regarded in their field and places genuine value on creating a supportive, inclusive, and people-focused working culture. They're proud to be recognised as a Great Place to Work, and it shows in their retention, morale, and values.
Interested?
We're reviewing applications as we receive them, so if this sounds like your kind of move, don't delay-get in touch today to find out more or apply directly.
