Love a streamlined process? Let’s make sure our payroll is as polished as our products.
At VictorianPlumbing.co.uk we’re experts in helping our customers create their dream bathrooms. But behind every sleek tap and designer tub is a Finance team that keeps the water running smoothly.
We are looking for a diligent, detail-oriented Payroll Assistant to join our team. If you have a passion for precision and want to ensure our staff are paid as reliably as a high-pressure shower, this is the role for you. No "leaks" in data, no "clogs" in the system—just smooth, accurate payroll.
The Role: Making a Splash in Finance
Reporting to the Payroll Manager, you’ll be the go-to person for our end-to-end payroll services. You’ll ensure every member of the team is paid accurately and on time, maintaining full compliance with statutory regulations.
Your daily flow will include:
Data Processing: Handling the "plumbing" of our monthly payroll—collating data for new starters, leavers, and overtime claims.
Statutory Compliance: Calculating SSP, SMP, and SPP with total accuracy, ensuring Income Tax and National Insurance deductions are spot on.
Pension Administration: Assisting with workplace schemes and auto-enrolment, ensuring contributions are uploaded without a hitch.
Query Resolution: Being the first point of contact for staff queries. Whether it’s a tax code change or a payslip discrepancy, you’ll provide clear, helpful answers.
System Maintenance: Keeping our HR and Finance systems sparkling and up-to-date through regular audits.
Who You Are
We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just "go with the flow" but actively manages the details. You’ll need:
UK Payroll Experience: Proven experience in a UK-based payroll or finance function is essential.
Regulatory Knowledge: A solid grasp of RTI, P60/P45 processing, and year-end procedures.
Technical Ability: You are highly proficient in payroll software (Sage, Iris, Workday, etc.) and an Excel expert—VLOOKUPs and pivot tables are your bread and butter.
Communication: A professional manner and the ability to handle sensitive information with total discretion.
Qualifications: A CIPP qualification (or the ambition to study for one) is highly desirable.
Why Dive In With Us?
You’ll be joining a fast-growing online retailer where your hard work is visible and valued. We offer a supportive environment where you can truly "soak up" new skills and grow your career.
