About the Role
We are looking for someone who is organised, accurate, and confident working on their own initiative. This role combines back-office financial administration with the requirement to take payments in the Council’s collection office.
If successful in your application you will process payments, reconcile income to the income management system, receipt BACS and credit transfer payments made directly into the Council’s bank account, and assist with managing direct debits for Council Tax and Business Rates.
You will also help customers directly by taking payments and providing professional and helpful support. We are looking for someone who will enjoy both aspects of the role – dealing with detailed financial administration and customer contact. Although there will usually be two people working together there will be occasions when you will be working alone so you will need to make decisions and act on your own initiative.
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.
