At Warden

We believe in Building Something Greater. We’re not here just to build, but to deliver outstanding construction projects that help to improve lives and communities.

We operate across the North West with a strong presence in public sector delivery of new build and refurbishment projects in education, blue light, further education, public and leisure buildings, healthcare and maintenance supported by private sector commercial, specialist residential and industrial schemes.

We’re looking for people who personify our values of quality, continuous improvement, growing people and delivering social value.

In return, we offer a great working environment where our people are rewarded fairly, looked after properly, and supported to achieve their personal and professional goals.

Key Responsibilities

This role will include, but is not limited to the following responsibilities:

  • Processing supplier invoices, including matching purchase orders and proof of delivery notes, checking prices, and preparing invoices for payment.
  • Processing employee expense claims.
  • Supporting credit control activities.
  • Maintaining purchase, subcontractor, and sales ledgers, including statement reconciliations.
  • Preparing bank reconciliations.
  • Processing applications for payment.
  • Preparing payment batches.
  • Raising sales invoices.
  • Liaising with third-party providers, clients, suppliers and the Commercial Team.
  • Providing general administrative support, including handling incoming and outgoing post and signing for deliveries.
  • Maintaining and updating finance procedures and documentation.
  • Acting as the first point of contact for the main telephone line.
  • Supporting the wider accounts department with additional duties 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.
