About the Role

We are recruiting for an accountancy firm based in the Crieff area. They have an opportunity for an experienced Payroll Assistant to join a warm, friendly, and supportive team.

Hybrid working, 4 days onsite, 1 day work from home. Possible flexibility for start/finish times.

You must currently live in reasonable travel distance to the office location and hold the right to work in the UK. We regret that applications which do not meet these criteria won't be progressed.

You will have 3 years' + experience of running and managing all aspects of payroll, ideally from an accountancy Practice experience. If you are CIPP qualified, or studying towards qualification, that is a definite advantage.

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.
