Introduction

We are looking to recruit a Timesheet Administrator to join our rapidly growing team. As an Apprentice Timesheet & Compliance Administrator within the recruitment team, you will assist the payroll manager in the effective and efficient processing of timesheets within our IT system.

About The Employer

Tempting Recruitment is a professional, independent, forward-thinking recruitment agency, with a wealth of experience recruiting within the Public, Private, Social Housing, Health and Social Care and Not for Profit Sectors. Our clients range from Local Authorities, Housing Associations, NHS, Central Government, Charities and major Private Organisations across the whole of the UK.

What You'll Do

Ideal Candidate:

We're looking for someone confident, driven, and ready to grow. You’ll have 2-3 years' experience, strong admin and customer service skills, and solid proficiency in Outlook, Word, and Excel. Ideally, you’ve had some higher education or life experience (e.g. a recent graduate), and you’re now seeking a career-focused role with long-term progression.

You’re proactive, personable, and bring great energy to the team. We value ambition, independence, and a strong work ethic, especially if you’re feeling stagnant in your current role.

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.
