Job Description

Join us, be part of more.

We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that's energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels, whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently - we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.

About your team:

At PH Jones, our mission is to mend it.

Our teams have been at the heart of communities for over 50 years. Partnering with local authorities and associations, we support social housing across the UK – installing, upgrading and repairing heating and electrical systems. But we’re not just living off our legacy. We’re on a mission to make the UK’s social housing sector greener and more energy efficient.

About the role:

We are looking for an experienced Payroll Administrator to join our team.

This is a permanent role, 40 hours per week, with a hybrid working pattern, both onsite in Warrington WA4 and working from home.

  • Up to £27,500 per annum
  • Company Benefits
  • Employee Energy Allowance and discount on HIVE products

As a Payroll Administrator with PH Jones, you will find a variety of different tasks to complete daily. These will include, but are not limited to:

  • End-to-end payroll processing weekly and monthly paid employees.
  • Collect and verify timesheets, attendance records, and other relevant data for payroll processing.
  • Calculate and process salary adjustments, variable pay items, and other payroll-related transactions.
  • Respond to employee inquiries regarding payroll matters.
  • Collaborate with Operations and Support teams to ensure accurate employee data and resolve any discrepancies.
  • Maintain accurate records of payroll transactions, deductions, and withholdings.
  • Work collaboratively with your payroll colleagues to ensure an effective and efficient service is being delivered.

Here's what we’re looking for:

  • Payroll experience essential.
  • Must have a working knowledge of Payroll related legislation, tax, and PAYE procedures.
  • The successful candidate will be a highly competent user of Microsoft Office (including Excel, Outlook, and Word) with strong IT skills and an ability to learn new systems.
  • Excellent team-working skills, with the ability to respond professionally to payroll enquiries.
  • You will have the ability to respond positively to changing workloads and priorities, with a willingness to undertake varied payroll responsibilities.
  • We are seeking someone with excellent interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills, who is self-motivated with a problem-solving approach.
  • You will have the ability to prioritise tasks, work well under pressure and manage your workload, with a high attention to detail.
  • Knowledge of Navision/Miracle Pay software would be advantageous.

Why should you apply?

We’re not a perfect place – but we’re a people place. Our priority is supporting all of the different realities our people face. Life is about so much more than work. We get it. That’s why we’ve designed our total rewards to give you the flexibility to choose what you need, when you need it, making sure that you and your family are supported not only financially, but physically and emotionally too.
