GLL, the UK's largest leisure provider and one of the first and largest leisure social enterprises is looking for experienced Payroll and Pensions Officer to join our close-knit Head Office team in Woolwich. We run leisure centres, libraries, children's centres, outdoor spaces and high-profile events and sporting venues. We've been growing year-on-year since our inception over 20 years ago and we're looking for an ambitious, hard-working Payroll and Pensions Officer who thrives in an environment of rapid expansion.

Delivering a timely and accurate payroll service, you'll work closely with your colleagues across the HR department to keep the employee database up-to-date.

Your passion for numbers and accuracy will be key - even under pressure - as you ensure that all our staff are paid the right amount, on time and without any issues. You'll be a great communicator and be able to assist people (colleagues and external agencies) at all levels and with varying levels of fiscal awareness in a way that they understand. You should have a CIPP qualification or be AAT qualified or equivalent and keep abreast of all UK legislations for SMP/SPP/SAP, Tax & NI, NMW, Visas, the Working Time Directive, pensions, redundancy and Data Protection.
