I’m responsible for the weekly payroll processing for 100+ contractors across our Gloucestershire and Leeds branches, ensuring every worker is paid accurately and on time. I work closely with our wider payroll team to maintain smooth operations, resolve discrepancies, and make sure all deadlines are met. At the start of each week, my role focuses heavily on chasing, collecting, and validating hours before inputting them into our internal payroll system. A key part of this process includes managing job cards through our Universe platform, where I check, approve, and upload all time entries to ensure compliance and accuracy for both the client and our contractors. Universe has become an essential tool in streamlining our workflow, allowing me to stay organised and maintain full visibility of every contractor’s activity. The second half of my week is more varied from assisting consultants with a range of administrative tasks to taking the lead on planning staff events. This includes sourcing suitable venues, coordinating schedules, managing logistics, and designing team‑building activities that support a positive and engaging workplace culture. My role requires strong organisation, communication, and attention to detail and no two days are ever the same!
Experience & background
Life before Omega I was a Beauty Therapist for 10+ years before deciding to have a career change into payroll in 2019 then joining Omega in April 2023.

Outside of work I love to travel ranging from walking weekend away with my crazy and a little naughty Cockapoo Toby to sitting on the beach with a beer in hand. If not travelling weekend consist of spending time with my family or going to the pub with the girls. Always my claim to fame my Dad had breakfast with Muhammad Ali in Las Vegas. Also randomly, have once appeared on the pyramid stage at Glastonbury!
