Payroll Administrator | London

£35,000 4 days in office/1 day at home

I'm currently partnering with an established organisation to recruit a Payroll Administrator to join a busy and collaborative payroll team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a payroll professional looking to build on their experience within a high-volume environment. You'll be responsible for delivering accurate end-to-end payroll, ensuring compliance with UK payroll legislation, and providing an excellent payroll service to employees across the business.

Key Responsibilities

  • Process end-to-end monthly payroll for 1,800+ employees
  • Administer statutory payments including SMP, SSP, SPP and Shared Parental Pay
  • Produce and reconcile payroll reports and support BACS processing
  • Ensure PAYE, pension and HMRC compliance, including RTI submissions
  • Support benefits administration and payroll deductions
  • Assist with year-end processes, including P60s and P11Ds
  • Resolve payroll queries and maintain accurate employee records
  • Support payroll system updates, legislative changes and continuous process improvements
  • Work closely with HR, Finance and other internal stakeholders to deliver an efficient payroll service

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.
