About You
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll ideally have some previous experience processing weekly and monthly payrolls, preferably within an accountancy practice, payroll bureau or other client-facing environment. You'll need a good understanding of payroll legislation and auto-enrolment, alongside strong attention to detail and good client communication skills. CIPP qualification and experience with Paycircle or similar software would be useful, but aren't essential.
