Payroll Specialist – Tuckers Solicitors | London
Location: London
Working pattern: 3 days per week, office-based
Salary: Competitive, depending on experience
Tuckers Solicitors is looking for an experienced Payroll Specialist to join our team on a part-time basis, working 3 days per week from our London office. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership of payroll and wants to become a key part of the finance function within a growing national law firm.
The role
You will take responsibility for the accurate and timely processing of payroll, ensuring employees are paid correctly and that all payroll obligations are managed effectively. We are particularly looking for someone with hands-on experience using Moorepay, as this is an essential requirement for the role.
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.
