Description

We are looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Payroll Administrator to support our busy retail operations. You will play a key role in ensuring our store and warehouse employees are paid accurately and on time, while maintaining compliance with UK payroll legislation. This role requires someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can manage high volumes of data with precision.

The Team

Our focus as a department is our people and our vision is to nurture and develop a people centred and team orientated culture, where your voice is heard, and you feel valued every day.

This is such an exciting time to join us, we’re looking forward to having you support the business in the day-to-day aspects but to also get involved in all the great things we have planned for our people at Footasylum.

The Role

• Assist the monthly payroll process, including hourly and salaried employees.
• Manage weekly timesheet data, overtime, annual leave & absence. 
• Ensure accurate calculation and processing of statutory payments (SSP, SMP, SPP).
• Maintain payroll records for starters, leavers, and contract changes.
• Liaise with store managers and HR to verify payroll inputs and resolve discrepancies.
• Administer pension contributions and auto-enrolment duties.
• Respond to employee queries regarding payslips, deductions, and tax codes.
• Support payroll audits and reporting for finance and HR teams.

About You

Some previous experience within a payroll environment would be an advantage but is not essential for this role. Familiarity with Microsoft Excel is essential, as we heavily work with Microsoft Office. You will possess excellent attention to detail and have the ability to manage large volumes of data. We talk to all areas of the business on a daily basis, so strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively with store teams.

Why Footasylum?

We are one of the leading omni-channel retailers across the UK, but more than that we are a brilliant place to work. We value you and your development. We have loads of examples of people moving upwards, across to other departments and given training to excel their personal and professional skills.

Our aim to create a fun environment, where your success is paramount to ours and you are given the right tools, support and platform to achieve your goals.

Diversity

We recognise and value the importance of diversity to help make sure we have lots of different perspectives when we are providing service to our colleagues and customers. We know that this will help us build a great service, which our customers will love. This is great news for our business. Diversity for us is also, importantly, about building happy teams full of people that want to learn and want to be inspired by each other and our different experiences.

Recruitment Process

We review applications on an individual basis, and if we feel you would be a good fit we’ll invite you for a call or Teams video for an informal chat about the role, and to see if we’re a good fit for you.

We value open and honest conversations and collaboration, giving you a chance to learn about what we are doing in an informal and friendly environment. We want to know about you and why you feel that this is the opportunity for you.
