TPF Recruitment is delighted to be recruiting on behalf of a well-established and highly respected practice based in Canterbury, who are looking for a full-time Payroll Executive to join their expanding Payroll Bureau team.

About the role

As a Payroll Executive, you’ll play a key part in delivering a smooth and personable payroll service to a varied portfolio of clients. From preparing payrolls to liaising directly with HMRC, you’ll be involved in every stage of the process, ensuring accuracy, efficiency and exceptional client care.

This isn’t just a numbers-driven role — it’s an opportunity to understand how businesses work, build meaningful client relationships and ensure every detail is right. The firm is committed to your development and will fully support you in working towards your CIPP qualification.

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.
