Careers

Money Ready is dedicated to creating a financially fluent population, and our People and Culture team makes sure the colleagues who deliver that mission are paid accurately and supported well. We’re looking for a meticulous and discreet HR and Payroll Officer to own the accurate and timely delivery of our monthly payroll and provide the HR administration that supports colleagues through the full employee lifecycle.

The role sits within the People and Culture team, part of our Finance and Operations department. You’ll be responsible for payroll processing, staff benefits administration and day-to-day support on employee relations, for a team based across all four UK nations.

This role suits someone who enjoys precise, deadline-driven process work alongside people-facing administration, and who handles confidential information with complete discretion. You’ll be able to explain payroll, pension and policy matters clearly and patiently to colleagues who aren’t specialists, and you’ll have the confidence to raise queries and challenge inconsistencies.

What the role involves:
Running the end-to-end monthly payroll for approximately 70 staff, including starters, leavers, contractual changes, salary sacrifice and all variable inputs, and calculating statutory and contractual payments accurately. Providing recruitment, onboarding and leaver administration, including contracts of employment and right to work, reference and DBS checks. Maintaining our HR information system (SafeHR) as the single source of truth for employee records, and coordinating absence recording and probation, appraisal and training cycles. Keeping HR policies and the staff handbook up to date and providing confidential administrative support to employee relations casework. Making sure employee data is processed lawfully and securely in line with UK GDPR, and producing people data for the Senior Leadership Team, board committees and statutory reporting.

• Permanent, full-time contract
• Salary of £30,000–£32,000 per annum, depending on experience
• Demonstrable experience of running end-to-end UK payroll, with sound working knowledge of PAYE, National Insurance, RTI submissions, statutory payments and pension auto-enrolment
• Confident user of a cloud-based payroll system and an HR information system, with strong Excel skills
• CIPP qualification, or working towards one, or equivalent practical HR admin and payroll experience
• Benefits include 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays and a Christmas–New Year break, a pension scheme, enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption leave and pay, an annual training allowance and a cash health plan
