The Role:

We are seeking a Payroll Supervisor to take the reins of a varied and hands-on in-house payroll.

Key Responsibilities:

  • End-to-end processing of monthly payroll, including starters, leavers, adjustments, pensions, benefits and statutory payments
  • Supervision of a small payroll team, ensuring accuracy, compliance and a high standard of service delivery (but also supported by a Payroll Manager)
  • Reconciliation of payroll reports and working closely with Finance for month-end and year-end processes
  • Managing and responding to payroll-related queries from staff and external stakeholders
  • Driving process improvement and supporting payroll system changes
  • Ensuring compliance with current legislation including HMRC, RTI, auto-enrolment and statutory deductions

About You:

  • Proven experience in a payroll or senior payroll position
  • Confident with manual calculations and complex payroll processes
  • Knowledge of pensions, statutory payments, and HMRC legislation
  • Excellent Excel skills and strong attention to detail
  • A proactive, supportive and team-oriented attitude
  • Experience in the creative, arts or not-for-profit sector is advantageous, but not essential

Why Join?

  • Work in an inspiring and culturally rich sector that celebrates creativity and innovation
  • Be part of a fantastic, collaborative payroll team with outstanding staff retention
  • Flexible hybrid working (1 days in the office)
  • Access to exclusive screenings, events, and internal development opportunities
  • A supportive environment that promotes wellbeing, inclusion and work-life balance
