ADP Payroll Specialist | 3 Month Contract – Potential to Extend | Teddington | £250 - £385 per day via umbrella | Leading Estate Agency

Our client is a leading, fast-growing estate agency operating across sales and lettings, with a network of offices spanning the capital. This role has the expectations of being in office 5 days a week with flexibility if needed.

Following a recent migration onto ADP ihcm, they are looking to bring in an experienced Payroll Specialist with ADP experience to support their payroll team through the post go-live transition period on a temporary basis.

This is a business with a genuinely complex payroll: due to the nature of the business the bulk of the payroll is commission-related pay, with high volumes of data managed manually across spreadsheets alongside the ADP system. The successful candidate will report directly into the Head of Payroll and play a hands-on role in processing and stabilising operations following the recent system change through training the team.

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.
