HR & Payroll Manager
North West based - Manchester
Predominantly remote working
£35-40,000
Permanent
We’re looking for a hands-on HR & Payroll Manager to take full ownership of HR and payroll across a growing, seasonal hospitality business.
If you enjoy balancing HR admin precision with strategic thinking, and you’re confident advising managers in real-world scenarios, this could be the ideal role for you.
This is a varied, standalone role where you’ll manage the full employee lifecycle, support managers with employee relations matters, oversee recruitment activity, and ensure payroll runs accurately and on time.
You’ll work predominantly remotely, with one day per fortnight on-site building strong relationships and bringing visibility to the HR function.
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.
