Payroll Administrator

Full time and Permanent

Location: Haverfordwest

Salary: From £30,000 (scope to start on a higher salary if you have more experience)


Payroll. It isn't the most glamorous part of a business... but when it isn't done properly, the wheels come off pretty quickly.

I'm looking for a Payroll Administrator to join a friendly and supportive finance team, ensuring that the 200-strong workforce is paid accurately and on time across both weekly and monthly payrolls. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working with numbers, likes bringing order to chaos, and takes pride in getting the details right. This role is ideal for an experienced Payroll Administrator who is ready to take ownership of the full end-to-end payroll process and takes pride in a 'right first time, every time' approach.

You'll also have the opportunity to identify improvements, streamline processes and contribute to the wider finance function.

What you'll be getting stuck into

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.
