Looking to kick-start your career in payroll? This is a great opportunity for someone with strong attention to detail, solid admin or finance experience, and a real appetite to learn.

We're working with a business in Stoke who are open to someone taking their first step into payroll - full training is provided, and you'll be joining a supportive team where reflection, ownership, and curiosity are valued just as much as experience.

You'll support the payroll function with data input, reconciliations, and accuracy checks, while learning how a full end-to-end payroll process works. If you've got a good head for numbers and you're ready to grow - this could be the right fit.

What we're looking for:

  • Previous experience in admin, accounts, or finance (or similar transferable skills)

  • High levels of accuracy and attention to detail

  • A reflective, proactive mindset and willingness to learn

  • Good Excel or data-handling skills

  • Clear communication and team spirit

What's on offer:

  • Up to 25,000 salary (depending on experience)

  • On-site parking

  • Long-term career development
