Direct message the job poster from IRIS Software Group

Just a regular guy that hires top talent for one of UK’s largest privately held software companies.

Start a rewarding career in a people-focused role - with a company that supports your growth.

At IRIS Software Group, we’re best known for providing software that helps schools, businesses, and accountants run more efficiently. But we’re more than just a tech company - we also deliver critical services to thousands of organisations across the UK.

Our Managed Payroll Services team is one of those services. We take care of the entire payroll process on behalf of our clients - ensuring employees are paid correctly and on time, every time. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for organised, friendly, and reliable people to join us as Client Payroll Associates. You’ll be supporting clients in either our Commercial or Education teams - running payrolls, answering questions, and making sure everything runs smoothly.

You’ll spend at least three days a week in our Leeds city centre office (just a short walk from the station), with the flexibility to work from home the rest of the week - or be in the office full-time if that suits you better. It’s a great place to learn, get support from your team, and build confidence in a hands-on, customer-facing role.

What Will You Be Doing?

  • Running payrolls from start to finish for a group of clients
  • Speaking to customers to gather payroll information and confirm key details
  • Inputting data, generating payslips and reports, and arranging payments
  • Creating BACS files and handling HMRC submissions
  • Answering client queries by phone and email
  • Staying organised, meeting deadlines, and keeping accurate records
  • Learning the ins and outs of payroll, tax rules, and reporting (with support)
  • Supporting your team and growing your confidence in a customer-facing role

What Are We Looking For?

This role is open to early-career starters, career changers, and those with experience in education looking to move into a new role.

We’d love to hear from you if you are:

  • Comfortable speaking with people in a professional setting
  • Great at staying organised and working to deadlines
  • Detail-focused - you like to get things right first time
  • Interested in learning new systems and processes
  • A team player who’s supportive and keen to develop
  • Familiar with basic Word and Excel (you don’t need to be an expert!)

Whether you’re just starting out, returning to work, or switching careers from customer service, admin, teaching support or finance - we’ll give you the tools, training, and encouragement to succeed.

What Can IRIS Offer You?

  • Full training and clear progression pathways
  • A friendly, inclusive team that will support your development
  • Hybrid working – with a minimum of 3 days in our Leeds office
  • Option to work in the office full-time if you prefer
  • A role where your people skills and attention to detail really matter
  • A company that invests in your wellbeing, learning, and future

The Application Process

We’ve designed a supportive and inclusive process to help you shine:

Send us your CV and a short application — we’re keen to hear why you’re interested in HR and what excites you about joining IRIS.

If shortlisted, you’ll complete two short assessments that help us understand how you think and work.

  • CCAT – A quick, 15-minute timed assessment covering verbal, numerical, and logical reasoning. It’s best done somewhere quiet, with a pen and paper handy.
  • EPP – An untimed personality profile focused on your working style and approach to challenges. No right or wrong answers — just be yourself. These are widely used and designed to be fair and inclusive, helping us see beyond your CV.

A short, friendly chat over Microsoft Teams with someone from our Talent team. It’s your chance to ask questions and learn more about the role and life at IRIS.

Join us at our Leeds office (LS1 2AY) for an interactive, in-person session with other candidates (date to be confirmed). You’ll take part in team-based activities, meet our team, and get a real feel for our culture.

If you’re organised, people-focused and ready for a new challenge - we’d love to meet you.

Whether it’s your first step or a fresh start, apply now and build your career with IRIS.

Common Interview Questions And Answers

1. HOW DO YOU PLAN YOUR DAY?

This is what this question poses: When do you focus and start working seriously? What are the hours you work optimally? Are you a night owl? A morning bird? Remote teams can be made up of people working on different shifts and around the world, so you won't necessarily be stuck in the 9-5 schedule if it's not for you...

2. HOW DO YOU USE THE DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TOOLS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS?

When you're working on a remote team, there's no way to chat in the hallway between meetings or catch up on the latest project during an office carpool. Therefore, virtual communication will be absolutely essential to get your work done...

3. WHAT IS "WORKING REMOTE" REALLY FOR YOU?

Many people want to work remotely because of the flexibility it allows. You can work anywhere and at any time of the day...

4. WHAT DO YOU NEED IN YOUR PHYSICAL WORKSPACE TO SUCCEED IN YOUR WORK?

With this question, companies are looking to see what equipment they may need to provide you with and to verify how aware you are of what remote working could mean for you physically and logistically...

5. HOW DO YOU PROCESS INFORMATION?

Several years ago, I was working in a team to plan a big event. My supervisor made us all work as a team before the big day. One of our activities has been to find out how each of us processes information...

6. HOW DO YOU MANAGE THE CALENDAR AND THE PROGRAM? WHICH APPLICATIONS / SYSTEM DO YOU USE?

Or you may receive even more specific questions, such as: What's on your calendar? Do you plan blocks of time to do certain types of work? Do you have an open calendar that everyone can see?...

7. HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE FILES, LINKS, AND TABS ON YOUR COMPUTER?

Just like your schedule, how you track files and other information is very important. After all, everything is digital!...

8. HOW TO PRIORITIZE WORK?

The day I watched Marie Forleo's film separating the important from the urgent, my life changed. Not all remote jobs start fast, but most of them are...

9. HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A MEETING AND PREPARE A MEETING? WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING DURING THE MEETING?

Just as communication is essential when working remotely, so is organization. Because you won't have those opportunities in the elevator or a casual conversation in the lunchroom, you should take advantage of the little time you have in a video or phone conference...

10. HOW DO YOU USE TECHNOLOGY ON A DAILY BASIS, IN YOUR WORK AND FOR YOUR PLEASURE?

This is a great question because it shows your comfort level with technology, which is very important for a remote worker because you will be working with technology over time...
