Payroll Specialist

This is an excellent opportunity to join a friendly, progressive firm that prides itself on delivering exceptional service to a loyal client base. Offering genuine flexibility and a supportive working environment, this role is ideal for an experienced payroll professional looking for a better work-life balance without compromising on the quality or variety of their work.

The Role

Working two days per week, you'll take responsibility for managing payrolls from start to finish for a varied portfolio of clients across both Northern Ireland, the wider UK and the Republic of Ireland. You'll become a trusted point of contact, ensuring payrolls are processed accurately, compliantly and on time while building strong relationships with clients.

What You Will Do

  • Manage end-to-end payroll processing for a diverse portfolio of UK and ROI clients.
  • Process weekly, fortnightly and monthly payrolls.
  • Ensure compliance with current UK and Irish payroll legislation, including CIS and RCT requirements.
  • Process starters, leavers, statutory payments and pension contributions.
  • Prepare and submit RTI returns and Irish Revenue payroll submissions.
  • Respond to client payroll queries, providing an efficient and professional service.
  • Maintain accurate payroll records and ensure data integrity at all times.
  • Liaise with HMRC and Irish Revenue where required.
  • Identify opportunities to improve payroll processes and support ongoing system enhancements.

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.
