About the Role
My prestigious East Kent client is looking for a full-time Payroll Executive to join our growing Payroll Bureau team.
From preparing payrolls to liaising with HMRC, you’ll play an essential role in delivering a seamless, personable service to our clients.
This is more than just a numbers role – it’s about understanding businesses, building relationships and making sure every detail is done right. And if you’re looking to grow, we’ll support you to gain your CIPP qualification.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for people who think ahead, speak up, and get stuck in. People with a growth mindset, who are ready to challenge themselves and keep moving forward.
You’ll be someone who brings energy and attention to detail, who works well with others and thrives in a collaborative environment. You’ll aim to solve, not just deliver — thinking commercially, practically and creatively to get to the heart of the problem.
We succeed together, so strong communication and a team-first attitude are key. Whether you’re working with clients or colleagues, you’ll build relationships that drive real impact.
What about you?
Farrer Barnes Ltd does not discriminate on the grounds of age, race, gender, disability, creed or sexual orientation and complies with all relevant UK legislation. Farrer Barnes Ltd acts as an employment agency for permanent recruitment and employment business for the supply of temporary workers.
