Are you a payroll professional who takes pride in getting it right first time? Do you thrive in a fast‑paced, multi‑site environment where accuracy, consistency, and trust really matter? Ready to play a key role in shaping payroll standards across a national operation?

GXO is currently looking for a Network Payroll Officer to join our B&Q retail network in Worksop, during an exciting period of integration and transformation. This is a critical role, responsible for delivering accurate, compliant, and on‑time payroll across multiple distribution sites.

This role is being offered on a full-time, permanent basis. The hours of work are 37.5 per week, 5 days per week, predominantly Monday to Friday, office hours. Some flexibility will be required; this is logistics after al!

Pay, benefits and more:

You’ll be paid a competitive salary. You’ll also receive 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays), as well as the option to buy additional days so you can enjoy a positive work-life balance. Your benefits package includes a company sponsored pension scheme, private medical and dental insurance, a 24/7 online GP service, life assurance and a fully comprehensive employee assistance programme. You’ll have access to our MyBenefits platform offering a variety of high street discounts, a cycle to work scheme, cashback cards, a saving scheme and much more. You’ll also have access to our GXO University which provides you with the opportunity to learn new skills and gain qualifications at a pace that you’re comfortable with. There’s also our continued focus on internal promotions, over 55% last year!

What you’ll do on a typical day:

• Owning payroll delivery across the network, ensuring 100% on‑time and highly accurate payroll processing
• Validating and reconciling payroll data including hours, overtime, shift premiums, absences, holiday pay, starters, and leavers
• Acting as the first point of contact for payroll queries from sites and stakeholders

• Training and supporting managers and admin teams on timekeeping systems and payroll requirements
• Maintaining payroll SOPs, audit trails, and supporting internal and external audits

What you need to succeed at GXO:

• Proven experience in payroll processing within a high‑volume, multi‑site operational environment
• Strong knowledge of UK payroll legislation and statutory requirements and confidence using payroll and time & attendance systems
• Excellent attention to detail with strong numerical accuracy
• Ability to communicate payroll information clearly to non‑technical stakeholders, calm, organised, and resilient under pressure
• Payroll qualification (CIPP Level 3 or above) is desirable but not essential
