Our client is a leading service provider with well-appointed offices in Huntingdon but the opportunity to also work remotely.

They are now looking to further develop their payroll team by recruiting an Assistant Team Leader to assist in looking after a friendly and hardworking team.

As a payroll expert your role will be key in the smooth running of the payrolls that are looked after, and duties will include;

  • Deputising for the Payroll Team Leader

  • Manage your own portfolio on all aspects of payroll from start to finish

This role will suit someone who has proven experience of payroll and has ideally mentored or managed staff in the past.


The successful candidate will not only have strong payroll skills but will also be a strong communicator who values customer service and enjoys being busy.


Whilst the ideal would be that this person lives locally, if the right candidate is based further away, remote working could be an option for the right person but equipment and occasional meetings on site will be expected when COVID regulations are relaxed.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to join a business that supports its staff and offers competitive benefits.


Interviews will be taking place imminently on a remote basis, so send your CV for immediate consideration.
