Overview

It’s a great time to join Screwfix. Thanks to the hard work of our team and record-breaking sales, we’re proud to be one of the fastest-growing retailers in the UK. And we want to pass that growth onto you.

Our busy payroll team ensures that, on average, 13.5k employees are paid each month accurately and on time.


As Payroll Administrator, you'll work as part of a team of 4 Payroll Admins to ensure that our UK and Ireland colleagues are paid whilst supporting the timely and effective resolution of all payroll queries and requests, demonstrating your commitment to our colleagues and providing a customer-focused service.

We believe that a hybrid, flexible working approach offers you – and your colleagues – the best of both worlds. Face-to-face collaboration is an integral part of our warm, friendly culture, so you’ll work from our head office three days a week, working flexibly around our core working hours of 10am-3pm. Beyond that, how, when and where you work is up to you. With a subsidised canteen, free parking and a comfortable, relaxed environment, we’ve worked hard to build an office you’ll want to work in. We also know that, when it comes to school pick-ups and home deliveries, it’s nice to have the flexibility to do both.
