Location: Flexible working patterns | Join a supportive, growing team

Hutcheon Mearns are delighted to partner with our client to offer an exciting opportunity for a Part-Time Payroll Assistant to join their thriving finance team.

In this role, you’ll work closely with the Payroll Manager to help process weekly and monthly payrolls, handle Auto Enrolment tasks, and support a busy, friendly finance function. With a variety of working patterns available (both daytime and evening), this position is ideal for someone looking to balance work alongside other commitments.

Whether you already have some payroll experience or you’re looking to start a career in payroll, this is a great opportunity to learn, develop, and make a real impact in a supportive environment.

What you’ll be doing

  • Assisting the Payroll Manager with accurate weekly and monthly payroll processing.

  • Supporting the administration of payroll functions — including tax and NI calculations, statutory payments (maternity, paternity, sickness, etc.), student loans, and other deductions.

  • Processing new starters, leavers, and changes to employee data.

  • Handling payroll queries, clearly explaining calculations and deductions to managers and employees.

  • Helping prepare payroll reports and collate data when needed.

  • Ensuring payroll compliance and accuracy, meeting key deadlines.

  • Growing your payroll knowledge through hands-on experience and guidance from an experienced team.

What we’re looking for

  • Previous payroll experience would be great, but a willingness to learn is just as important.

  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy.

  • Solid Excel skills.

  • Great communication skills — you’ll be comfortable explaining payroll details clearly and confidently.

  • Ability to meet deadlines and stay calm under pressure.

What’s on offer

  • A supportive and collaborative team environment.

  • Opportunities to learn, grow, and build your payroll expertise.

  • Competitive benefits package, including pension contributions and additional perks.

  • Flexible working hours to fit around your lifestyle.

If this sounds like the right fit for you, we’d love to hear from you!
