Payroll Coordinator

Knights; Stoke-on-Trent; On-site; GBP 25,000 - 35,000; Full time

Job description

Knights has always done things differently; in 2012, we moved from the traditional partnership model to a corporate structure, creating a clear separation between management/ownership and fee earners. The success of our model was reflected in very attractive growth over the following 6 years and following our listing on the AIM market in June 2018, we have reported year on year growth in both turnover and profits. With over 1450 colleagues across 26 locations and our strong organic growth, combined with several high-quality acquisitions, we are now a more diversified business with strengthened positions in our key target markets.

We are now looking to recruit a Payroll Coordinator to join the Payroll team based out of our Newcastle Under Lyme offices. This is where a large majority of our central functions are based and therefore you will feel part of a wide and connected team that is exactly that… team orientated. It makes it a great place to work where you will be part of one of the fastest growing legal businesses in the country.
