Payroll Specialist

Payroll Specialist – Part Time

Manor Adventure is looking for an experienced Payroll Specialist to join our Head Office team in Shrewsbury.

This is a part-time role with responsibility for managing payroll across our six UK residential centres and Head Office.

Payroll will be the main focus of the role, with the successful candidate taking ownership of the payroll process, pensions, HMRC compliance, employment contracts and associated employee administration.

The position sits separately from our Accounts function and will also provide administrative support to our existing HR Manager when capacity allows.

We are looking for someone who is confident managing payroll independently and ensuring everything is processed accurately, compliantly and on time.

We can offer flexibility around working days and hours, provided key payroll deadlines are met.

• Managing payroll across our six UK centres and Head Office
• Processing payroll accurately and on time
• Managing starters, leavers and changes to employee details
