Job Description
Payment & Payroll Administrator | Chester | Permanent
Think Accountancy & Finance are partnering with an award‑winning, fast‑growing global business in Chester to recruit a Payment Specialist. This is your chance to join a collaborative, people‑focused team, ideal for someone local who wants to grow a long‑term career in payroll.
The position itself is a Payment Coordinator role. You'd be joining their central payments team, and it's a really important role because you'll be responsible for making sure subcontractors and employees are paid accurately and on time. That means you'll be working at the heart of the business, with a big impact on both the company and the people they support.
Day-to-day, it's a mix of processing payments, handling payroll queries, managing pensions, and working closely with agencies and clients, so you get that variety while also developing your skills further. It's not just transactional, they're looking for someone who can confidently speak with people about payroll or tax issues and become a trusted point of contact.
What I think makes this opportunity stand out are the benefits and culture. They offer 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, pensions, life assurance, health and wellbeing support, cycle to work schemes, and recognition awards.
What you'll be doing
Accurately process payroll for employees and subcontractors, ensuring timely payments
Handle statutory payments, pension auto‑enrolment, and RTI/FPS submissions
Maintain clear communication on payroll inquiries (tax, administration, timesheets)
Support invoicing for agency clients and manage related receipts
Keep internal teams updated on payment statuses and agency invoices
Assist with ad‑hoc administrative tasks as needed
Who we're looking for
Some payroll experience (even 6-12 months is fine)
Sharp attention to detail and strong numerical skills
Confidence discussing payroll/tax queries with stakeholders
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and comfortable with data entry
Excellent verbal and written communication
A true team player who can prioritise under pressure
What's on offer
25 days' holiday (rising with service) + bank holidays
Pension, Life Assurance, Health Assured & Spectrum Life
Cycle‑to‑Work scheme & employee referral bonus
Long service awards & annual pay reviews
Full training on in‑house systems and ongoing development
