Payroll Specialist
£30,000–£35,000 | Stonehouse, Gloucestershire | Hybrid Working (following probation)
Looking for a payroll role where you'll be valued, supported and have genuine opportunities to grow?
Balanced Hiring are delighted to be partnering exclusively with a growing and ambitious accountancy business that's investing heavily in its people, systems and client offering following a recent acquisition.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established payroll team supporting a diverse portfolio of clients, whilst becoming part of a business that's entering an exciting new phase of growth.
The Opportunity
As Payroll Specialist, you'll manage your own portfolio of clients, delivering accurate payroll services whilst building trusted relationships and providing first-class support. No two days are the same, with clients ranging from SMEs through to larger organisations across a variety of sectors.
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.
