Payroll and HR Assistant

If you're the kind of person who likes variety, structure, and being the go-to for all things people and payroll read on.

Working for a growing business in Hull, you'll play a key role in two vital functions: helping to run accurate, efficient payroll and providing solid HR admin support across the employee lifecycle.

One minute you might be preparing an offer letter for a new hire, the next you're updating payroll data or answering a query about annual leave. This is a hands-on, collaborative role, ideal for someone who enjoys detail, pace, and people.

What you'll be doing:

Payroll support:

• Assisting with weekly and monthly payroll processing
• Updating payroll data: new starters, leavers, changes, deductions, bonuses
• Helping manage statutory payments and pension contributions
• Responding to payroll queries and keeping accurate records
• Supporting with HMRC submissions and payroll reporting

HR admin support:

• Sending offer letters and contracts to new starters
• Coordinating onboarding: right to work checks, system access, welcome packs
• Managing leaver processes: confirmations, exit checklists, final pay details
• Keeping employee records up to date across HR and payroll systems
• Supporting with holiday tracking, absence monitoring, and general queries
• Helping with the preparation of HR reports and metrics
• Assisting on ad-hoc HR projects and process improvements

What they're looking for:

• Previous experience in a HR or payroll admin role (or both)
• Understanding of UK payroll processes and basic HR procedures
• Confident using HR/payroll systems and Excel
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to juggle multiple tasks
• Discreet and professional when dealing with confidential information
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Organised, proactive, and happy to work as part of a close-knit team
• A genuine interest in both HR and payroll, with a desire to learn more

What's on offer?

• An annual salary of up to £32k depending on experience
• 28 days annual leave
• Early finish Fridays

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the structure of process-driven work, but still wants variety day-to-day. If you're looking for a role that blends people, process, and precision this could be the right fit.
