Temporary Payroll Specialist (6-Month Contract)
We are looking for an experienced Payroll Specialist to join our team on a 6-month temporary contract to provide hands-on support within a busy, fast-paced payroll function.
This is a high-volume operational role, and we need someone who can hit the ground running with minimal supervision.
ADP EXPERIENCE IS ESSENTIAL. Without ADP experience you will not be considered.
Key Responsibilities:
- Managing a high volume of day-to-day payroll queries through our ticketing system, ensuring timely and accurate responses.
- Supporting the end-to-end payroll process, including payroll preparation, validation, and processing.
- Resolving payroll-related issues and liaising with employees and stakeholders.
- Maintaining payroll accuracy while working to tight deadlines.
- Supporting the wider payroll team with BAU activities as required.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
