Are you looking to build a rewarding career in Human Resources and Payroll? We are delighted to represent a leading, fast-paced UK business in sourcing a motivated HR & Payroll Administrator to join their growing team.
This is an exceptional entry-level opportunity for a detail-oriented professional who wants hands-on exposure across both generalist HR administration and payroll processing. Working fully on-site alongside an established team, you will serve as a key point of contact for employee queries and help keep the business’s most valuable asset—its people—supported and compliant.

* Payroll Support: Collate monthly timesheets, process payroll data, calculate extra hours or deductions, and assist with general payroll queries.
* First Line Support: Act as a helpful and professional point of contact for staff inquiries regarding company policies, pay, and benefits.
* Compliance & Reporting: Maintain accurate HR databases and assist with basic reporting and audit checks.
* General Coordination: Provide administrative support for recruitment activities, training sessions, and general office operations.
What We Are Looking For
* Strong organizational skills with meticulous attention to detail.
* Previous office administration experience (HR or payroll exposure is a plus, but full training will be provided).
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with a strong customer-service mindset.
* Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook).
* Discretion and integrity when handling sensitive and confidential information.
* Full commitment to working on-site Monday to Friday.
What’s on Offer
