Are you ready to step into an exciting opportunity with the UK's largest independent provider of Student Accommodation?

Homes for Students is on the lookout for a dynamic and skilled Payroll Coordinator to join our team! Your working hours would be 9am - 5.30pm, Monday to Friday, and the role is based in our newly renovated Central Service office in Fazakerley.

About the Role

As the Payroll Coordinator, you'll work closely with our Payroll Manager and the wider People Team to ensure our colleagues are paid accurately and on time. Your attention to detail and excellent numerical skills will be key in processing monthly payrolls and handling Real Time Information (RTI) submissions to HMRC. You'll be the go-to person for payroll queries, delivering outstanding customer service to our colleagues.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage end-to-end processing of monthly payrolls and reconciliations, including statutory and contractual payments.
  • Support colleagues with payroll inquiries, providing first-line assistance.
  • Collaborate with the Payroll Manager in internal and external audits, and produce monthly reports for stakeholders.
  • Take part in continuous process reviews and suggest improvements where applicable.
  • Undertake general administrative tasks and foster positive relationships with all stakeholders.

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.
