Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a role designed to expand naturally over time. As you develop, you'll take on more responsibility and gain hands-on experience across the payroll function.
Who This Suits
This part-time position is ideal for:
- Career changers looking for a structured, supportive entry point into payroll
- Parents or carers who need predictable hours and a team that understands real-life commitments
- Students or learners who want space in their week to study while building practical experience
- Anyone seeking balance - a stable role that doesn't consume your entire week
You'll be organised, detail-focused, comfortable with numbers, and eager to learn. Experience in payroll or finance admin is helpful but not essential - your attitude, accuracy, and willingness to grow matter most.
