Part-Time Payroll Coordinator
£42,000 FTE
Three days per week | Six month contract | London
Let’s deal with the practicalities first. This is a part time position working three days per week, with those days expected to be spent in the London office from Tuesday to Thursday.
The initial contract will be for six months. There is genuine hope that the position could become permanent, although that cannot be guaranteed at this stage.
Joining the finance team of a leading international law firm, you will support the monthly payroll for approximately 350 employees while gaining exposure to payroll processes across several European offices.
Much of the role involves maintaining accurate and consistent payroll records. You will:
- Collate and check monthly changes
- Process new starters and leavers
- Reconcile overtime and deductions
- Submit information to external payroll providers
- Review the completed payroll outputs for discrepancies
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.
You will also:
- Respond to employee queries
- Issue payroll documentation
- Process benefit and payroll related invoices
- Assist with monthly payroll journals
It is an administration heavy position, so it will particularly suit someone who enjoys routine, predictability and the satisfaction of keeping a detailed process running properly.
Requirements:
- Around two to three years’ payroll experience
- UK payroll experience will be sufficient
- Existing European payroll experience would be useful but is not required
The Payroll Manager is approachable and happy to provide training. Alongside learning about multi country payroll, there may also be an opportunity to become involved in a future payroll systems project.
The successful candidate will be:
- Accurate
- Hardworking
- Comfortable managing repetitive monthly processes without allowing standards to slip
- Personable
- Enthusiastic
- Keen to learn
