About the Role

We are looking for a reliable and organised Payroll & Operations Assistant to support our weekly payroll, finance administration, and general business operations.
This is a varied, cross-functional role that would suit someone who enjoys working with numbers, is confident with admin tasks, and takes pride in being accurate and dependable.
The role is part-time (12 hours per week) and would suit someone looking for flexible work, such as a returner to work, someone balancing other commitments, or an experienced administrator seeking reduced hours.

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.
