Job description
Can you stay calm while crunching the numbers? Do you have an eagle eye for matching hours to rotas? Ready for a role where you genuinely make a difference?

With over 550 team members, across 14 sites and a payroll of more than £10 million, accurate records and well-managed rotas are vital to our success. We run monthly payrolls for both salaried and hourly paid teams and are now seeking a Payroll Manager to join our growing team.

You’ll work closely with Site Managers and our external payroll bureau to ensure everything runs smoothly.

This is an on-site/ in office role- based just outside Colchester, Essex. Travel to sites will be required occasionally.


What You’ll Be Doing:
• Preparing and checking payrolls (multiple payrolls- different periods), including weekly rota closures and reconciliations
• Cross-referencing rotas and reports, identifying discrepancies and ensuring accuracy
• Supporting managers with resolving payroll queries
• Coordinating Tronc/tip distribution with the Troncmaster
• Maintaining SSP, SMP and Statutory payments and records
• Uploading payments, anomalies and expenses, including Live-In Rents and bonuses



What You’ll Bring:
• Sound knowledge of Payroll, HR practices and employment policies
• Understanding of SMP, SSP, SPP, pensions, Tronc, tax, live-ins, pro-rating, and payroll variations
• Experience closing and checking rotas, and previewing payroll reports for accuracy
• Confidence in calculating estimates and explaining payroll matters clearly
• Ideally, hospitality experience or exposure to multi-site operations
• Experience using systems such as Fourth, Sage, BambooHR, HiBob, or similar
• A proactive mindset with a keen eye for detail and process improvement



What’s in It for You:
• Support with professional development and qualifications
• Free, confidential Employee Assistance Programme for you and your family
• Access to earned wages in real time, plus financial and wellbeing tools
• Supermarket, retail, and bus fare discounts
• Up to 50% off hotel stays and dining across our venues
• Bike to Work Scheme
• Increasing holiday allowance
• Auto-Enrolled Pension
• Free on-site parking



Who We Are:

We own and operate 14 hotels and venues across Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Hertfordshire, and Surrey, including well-known names like The Mill Hotel in Sudbury, Kingscliff Hotel in Holland-on-Sea, and The George Hotel in Colchester.

As part of the Flying Trade Group, a dynamic, international business with over 2,000 team members across 13 companies, we offer stability, variety, and opportunity. Our group spans industries from food manufacturing and leisure to construction and packaging.
