About the role:
We are looking for an experienced part-time Payroll Specialist to join our Nottingham-based HR team to manage Sygnature Discovery’s payroll processes. This role will report to the HR Operations Manager but involve working closely with the wider HR and finance teams to ensure a seamless payroll delivery.
You will manage the entire payroll process from start to finish, with a focus on accuracy, process improvements, and system implementation. The successful candidate must feel confident in acting as Sygnature Discovery's payroll expert. Experience in managing and running payroll independently is essential, and involvement in the implementation of a new payroll system would be highly desirable.
This is a part-time and permanent role, working 22.5 hours a week. Flexible hours are preferred, but not essential, with the option to condense hours around payroll week. School working hours also will be considered, though it is important to note that consistency of working hours is essential around each monthly payroll deadline.
