Payroll & Systems Manager

People & Culture | Hybrid 4-month FTC - Immediate start

Payroll is more than payslips. It’s trust, accuracy, and systems that quietly work so people can do their best work.

We’re looking for an experienced Payroll & Systems Manager to take ownership of payroll governance and HR/payroll systems for an organisation of around 350 staff, spanning salaried, hourly, and casual contracts. Payroll is outsourced, but this role is very much hands-on. You’ll be the expert voice in the room, the bridge between People & Culture, Finance, and our payroll provider, and the lead on shaping better, smarter systems for the future.

What you’ll be doing

• Owning the end-to-end payroll process, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and full UK statutory compliance

• Acting as the internal payroll specialist, confidently reviewing calculations, deductions, pensions, and statutory payments

• Managing payroll inputs for variable hours and timesheet-based staff

• Building a strong, effective relationship with our outsourced payroll provider and holding service standards high

• Spotting risks, fixing inefficiencies, and reducing manual workarounds through better processes and cleaner data

• Leading the selection and implementation of a new HR and payroll system, from business case to go-live

• Acting as system owner post-implementation, ensuring controls, optimisation, and user confidence

• Producing meaningful payroll and people data reports that support financial planning and decision-making

• Working closely with People Operations, Finance, and managers to make sure changes are processed smoothly and on time

About you

You’re someone who likes things to work properly and isn’t afraid to roll up your sleeves to make that happen.

You’ll bring:

• Strong, practical UK payroll expertise and a forensic eye for detail

• Experience managing payroll across multiple employment types and variable pay

• Confidence working with outsourced payroll providers and challenging when things aren’t right

• A track record of improving payroll or HR systems and documenting clear, resilient processes

• Experience leading or supporting HR/payroll system implementations

• The ability to explain payroll and systems clearly to non-specialists

• A collaborative, calm approach, even when deadlines loom 

You’ll be joining a values-led organisation where people matter, systems should support rather than hinder, and continuous improvement is actively encouraged. This role has real influence, visibility, and the chance to leave things better than you found them.

If you care about accuracy, integrity, and building systems that serve people well, please apply online today, I would love to hear from you!

Dreams Come True is an ambitious UK charity creating life‑changing dreams for children facing serious illness, disability and poverty. Driven by impact, relationships and creativity, we work with passionate partners to turn generosity into moments that truly change lives.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our small but mighty Dream Team, to continue to build on the growth we’ve seen in Corporate Fundraising. Over the past four years, our corporate fundraising programme has grown from early foundations into a dynamic, high‑performing income stream — now generating £450,000 annually and shows no sign of slowing down.

We have recently increased the salary for this role to reflect both the success of the programme and the significant opportunity ahead. With the right person in post, there is real potential to take this work even further.

You will manage and expand an inspiring portfolio of corporate partners including The Big Table Group, BSI, Tradeweb, Individual Restaurants, Howden, and Love Holidays. Our partners are not just supporters — they are part of our extended community of “Dream makers”, helping us create life‑changing experiences for children living with serious illness, disability and poverty.
