Hands-on UK Payroll Experience – ESSENTIAL
Learn more about the general tasks related to this opportunity below, as well as required skills.
Candidates should have solid, practical experience managing/processing UK payroll, not simply providing payroll administration support.
End-to-End Payroll Processing – ESSENTIAL
Look for candidates who have handled the full monthly payroll cycle, including new starters, leavers, salary changes, bonuses, benefits and other payroll amendments, through to payroll completion.
ADP Payroll Experience – STRONGLY PREFERRED
The Bank currently processes payroll through ADP ihcm. Candidates with hands-on ADP experience should therefore be prioritised. The role involves checking monthly HR changes in ADP and committing payroll.
UK Statutory Payroll Knowledge – ESSENTIAL
Candidates should demonstrate practical knowledge of PAYE, National Insurance, P11Ds, P60s, PSA and statutory year-end payroll activities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Payroll Reconciliation & Accounting Knowledge – ESSENTIAL
Look for experience with payroll reconciliation, GL postings and identifying/correcting payroll accounting discrepancies. Basic accounting knowledge is specifically required by the JD.
Pensions & Third-Party Payments
Candidate should ideally have experience preparing/submitting pension contribution schedules and dealing with payroll-related payments to external providers/HMRC.
Outsourced Payroll Provider Management
Experience working with an external/outsourced payroll provider is important. The successful candidate will work closely with the provider to ensure payroll accuracy and timely service delivery.
Employee Payroll Queries & Stakeholder Management
Candidate must be comfortable acting as a knowledgeable point of contact for salary, payroll, tax and payroll-related employee queries and working with HR, Finance/Accounts, Operations and external providers.

Strong Excel, Numeracy & Attention to Detail
Strong Microsoft Excel capability, excellent numerical ability and very high attention to detail are important. Payroll accuracy and the ability to meet strict monthly deadlines should be clearly evidenced on the CV.
Local + Expat Payroll Experience – HIGHLY RELEVANT
The position supports payroll for both UK local and expatriate employees, including expat tax-return information, PSA/P11D data, PAYE/NI and HMRC-related administration. Candidates with expatriate/international payroll exposure would therefore be particularly relevant.
ADP experience and exposure to expatriate payroll would be particularly advantageous
