Job description

Join us to help keep even more people and pets together when times are tough. For over a century, PDSA have provided vital veterinary care for the pets of people in financial hardship.

We’re now on a journey to expand our reach to support even more people and their beloved pets. To achieve this ambitious goal, we need passionate and driven individuals who are ready to embrace change and help shape a future-focused PDSA. Together, we'll build a stronger organisation to ensure our services help those who need us most for the next hundred years.

If you're ready to make a real difference and be part of a team that's creating positive change, we want you to join us. Let's build a brighter future for pets and their owners, together.

About you

As a Payroll & Reward Administrator, you will play a key role in delivering the full payroll and reward cycle, ensuring all processes are completed accurately, on time, and in line with statutory and organisational requirements.

You’ll maintain payroll records, process payments and deductions and support monthly and year‑end reporting. The role involves working across multiple internal systems, manually inputting data for new starters, processing change forms and ensuring all information is entered accurately and within required timeframes. You will also provide first‑line advice to colleagues on payroll and reward matters when needed and uphold the highest levels of confidentiality and integrity throughout.

We’re looking for someone with experience working in a payroll environment, who is confident and accurate when using a range of systems. Strong Excel skills would be an advantage.

This role is for 21 hours per week, and while we’re flexible about how those hours are arranged across the week, we do need someone who can work on both Monday and Tuesday. We’re happy to discuss how the remaining hours are structured to suit the right candidate.

Rewards, support and benefits

We’re really passionate about being a great place to work, somewhere people feel proud of what they do, connected to a meaningful purpose, and able to make a genuine difference every day. Our teams are collaborative and supportive, and we encourage everyone to bring their ideas, individuality and passion for pets to work with them.

As well as a rewarding role and a positive, people-focused culture, we also offer a wide range of benefits, including:

• Flexible working options to support your work–life balance and individual circumstances.
• 25 days’ holiday plus Bank Holidays, with option to buy or sell an extra five days - pro rata
• Three paid special days off: Volunteering Day, Celebration Day and Wellbeing Day annually.
• Generous pension options, with PDSA contributions starting at 5% and rising to 10%.
• Life assurance providing four times your annual salary for added peace of mind.
• AXA Health Employee Assistance Programme, with 24/7 wellbeing support
• Retail, holiday and lifestyle discounts available through our staff Fetch benefits platform.
• Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption leave to support you and your family.
• 15% discount on PDSA Pet Insurance plus access to staff veterinary services.
