Payroll & People Administrator
KatKin's Opportunity
Cats are undeniably champions of the Internet. They're cute, hilarious, and can be jerks, so honestly what's not to love? But, while they've been getting the recognition they deserve online, they've been left by the wayside in the pet food industry, with legacy FMCG companies opting to offer variations of food for them rather than providing food formulated for their dietary needs – did you know they're obligate carnivores, so a high meat diet is a biological necessity?
Enter KatKin.
What We Do at KatKin
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
The Role
As our Payroll & People Administrator, you'll be the person who keeps the day-to-day running smoothly.

- Managing time and attendance systems daily, making sure any exceptions are approved by the relevant line manager
- Processing and monitoring fit notes and self-certificates to minimise payroll queries
- Organising documentation for onboarding new hires and internal meetings as needed
- Organising employee events and initiatives that foster engagement and team spirit
- Supporting the wider team with ad hoc administrative projects as they come up
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.
