Quick Placement is actively recruiting for a meticulous Payroll Administrator to join a reputable client in the Warrington WA1 area. This is a temporary role with an ASAP start, offering competitive weekly pay and the potential for long-term placement for the right candidate.
Job Description: Payroll Administrator
Quick Placement is proud to partner with a leading business in the Warrington WA1 region to source a skilled and reliable Payroll Administrator. This is a critical role within their finance team, responsible for ensuring the accurate and timely processing of payroll for a diverse workforce. Our client operates in a fast-paced environment and values precision, confidentiality, and a proactive approach. This position has arisen due to increased workload and offers an excellent opportunity for an experienced payroll professional to make an immediate impact.
Whether you are looking for a flexible temporary assignment or a foot in the door with a respected local employer, this role provides a fantastic pathway. By applying through Quick Placement, you gain access to our extensive network of local businesses and benefit from our dedicated consultant support. We handle all the complexities of temporary employment, from timesheets to weekly pay, so you can focus on delivering excellent work. Just as we connect businesses with top-tier construction staffing services or reliable hospitality recruitment, we specialise in placing talented administrative professionals into roles where they thrive.
Key Responsibilities & Daily Duties
As the successful Payroll Administrator, you will be entrusted with a wide range of payroll duties. Your attention to detail will be paramount in maintaining compliance and employee satisfaction.
- Process end-to-end weekly and monthly payroll for employees accurately and on time, using dedicated payroll software (e.g., Sage, Xero, BrightPay).
- Handle all aspects of payroll administration including new starter set-ups, leavers, statutory payments (SSP, SMP, SPP), deductions, and attachment of earnings orders.
- Liaise with HR and department managers to resolve payroll queries and ensure all data changes are captured correctly.
- Prepare and submit RTI (Real Time Information) submissions to HMRC and complete year-end reporting including P60s and P11Ds.
- Maintain meticulous payroll records and ensure strict adherence to GDPR and data protection regulations.
- Reconcile payroll reports, oversee pension auto-enrolment processes, and submit contributions to pension providers.
- Investigate and resolve discrepancies in timesheets, overtime, and expenses claims in a timely manner.
- Provide clear and helpful responses to employee payroll enquiries, maintaining a high level of confidentiality and professionalism.
Essential Skills & Experience Required
We are looking for a candidate who possesses a solid foundation in payroll principles and a demonstrable track record of accuracy. The ideal Payroll Administrator will be a self-starter who can hit the ground running.
- Proven experience as a Payroll Administrator, Officer, or similar role, with comprehensive knowledge of UK payroll legislation and RTI.
- High proficiency in using mainstream payroll software; certification is a strong advantage.
- Exceptional numerical skills and a keen eye for detail – accuracy is non-negotiable.
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, for effective liaison with colleagues and external bodies.
- A proactive problem-solver with a high degree of discretion and integrity when handling sensitive information.
- A relevant qualification (e.g., CIPP Foundation Degree or similar) is desirable but not essential if balanced with substantial practical experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What experience do I need for this Payroll Administrator role?
We are looking for candidates with solid, hands-on experience in end-to-end UK payroll processing. You should be familiar with RTI submissions, statutory payments, and payroll software like Sage or Xero. While formal qualifications (CIPP) are beneficial, demonstrable experience and accuracy are paramount. If you have experience in similar detail-oriented finance roles, we encourage you to apply and discuss your transferable skills with our consultant.
Is this role strictly temporary, or is there a permanent chance?
This position is initially offered on a temporary basis to cover an increased workload. However, our client has a strong track record of offering temp-to-perm opportunities to individuals who excel in the role and fit well with the team.

How does the pay and payment process work with Quick Placement?
You will be employed by Quick Placement for the duration of the assignment. We agree on a competitive hourly or weekly rate with you before you start. You submit your timesheet electronically, we verify it with the client, and you are paid weekly directly into your bank account. We handle all employer taxes, National Insurance, and pension auto-enrolment duties. It's a simple, reliable process that ensures you get paid on time, every time.
