Payroll Officer (Time & Attendance/Payroll Specialist)
Location: Central London (office-based)
Contract: Full-time, temporary initial 5 months with possibility of extension
Rate: £325 per day (umbrella)
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a hands-on Payroll Officer (or strong HR/Finance professional with solid payroll experience) to join a prestigious 5-star hotel in Central London operating in a fast-paced, 24/7 hospitality environment.
About the Role
The hotel has recently implemented new Time & Attendance, Payroll and HR systems and is seeking reliable support during this period. You will work with UKG (Time & Attendance), ADP (fully outsourced payroll) and SAP (HR).
The role requires someone practical, detail-oriented and comfortable validating complex data in a high-volume environment with multiple work patterns. Strong analytical and reporting skills are essential. Hospitality experience is preferred, though fast-paced, high-volume experience from other sectors will also be considered.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
