We are seeking an experienced Payroll Administrator & Finance Assistant to join our successful finance team based at our new head office in Earls Colne, reporting directly to the Finance Director.

Payroll Responsibilities:

End to end processing of 4-weekly driver payroll.
Summarise, check, and consolidate weekly timesheets.
Process joiners and leavers.
Calculate holiday pay, bonus payments, and statutory payments.

Accounts Knowledge: Past experience with purchase ledger, sales ledger, and cash posting and allocation.
Software Skills: Microsoft Office with strong MS Excel skills (especially CSV imports/data manipulation). Knowledge of Sage 50 Payroll and Sage 200 Accounts is highly desirable, as is experience of using on-line banking applications.
Core Attributes: Exceptional attention to detail, tight time management, and absolute discretion with sensitive data.
Industry Insight: Experience within the transport or logistics sector is a bonus, but not essential.

What We Offer

Circa £28k, negotiable depending on experience (Pro-rata for part-time)
Profit-related bonus scheme.
Contributory pension scheme.
Private medical insurance.
29 days holiday (including Bank Holidays).
Modern, air-conditioned office with free on-site parking.
