Payroll Specialist

Northamptonshire

Temp Ongoing

Hybrid Working

Loom Talent are delighted to be partnering with a growing organisation in Northamptonshire to recruit a Payroll Specialist on a temp ongoing basis.

Joining a friendly and supportive team, this role has been created to help review and strengthen existing payroll processes during a period of growth. Rather than simply processing a monthly payroll from start to finish, you'll take the lead on checking current processes, identifying improvements and ensuring everything is running as efficiently and accurately as possible.

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.
