Payroll Clerk in Swansea

A common next step from Payroll Clerk is payroll manager — a business critical position within any organisation. We see this progression play out for candidates in Swansea just as often as anywhere else in our network.

Not all heroes wear capes. Responsible for ensuring employees are paid accurately and efficiently whilst adhering to strict deadlines.

Every candidate we put forward has been spoken to and assessed against your specific requirement — not just keyword-matched from a database. That's the difference a Market Expert model makes.

There's no retainer and no ongoing contract — our fee is only payable on a successful placement, whether that's a one-off hire or an ongoing relationship.

Temporary cover can often be arranged within days. Permanent roles vary with seniority, but our shortlists are built from people we already know rather than a fresh keyword search, so they typically move faster than a generalist agency's.

Payroll Clerk salaries in Swansea typically sit at £27k – £33k. £27k suits someone in their first 6 months. £30k is the market average for established experience, and £32k+ goes to a senior administrator with real depth of knowledge. Hybrid working matters a lot to this talent pool.
