Compensation & Benefits Specialist (UK)

£50k - £60k | Hybrid working

About the Role

I am looking for a Compensation & Benefits Specialist for a reputable organisation to join a wider HR team. This role is ideal for a reward professional who enjoys using data and insight to deliver competitive, compliant and engaging reward programmes.

Working closely with HR, Finance and business leaders, you'll support the development and delivery of our UK compensation and benefits offering, ensuring it remains aligned with business objectives and market best practice.

What You'll Do

  • Support the delivery and continuous improvement of UK compensation and benefits programmes.
  • Review and enhance key benefits, including pensions, sick pay and employee wellbeing initiatives.
  • Assist with the administration and governance of the Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP).
  • Support annual reward activities, including salary reviews and benefit renewals.
  • Analyse reward data, produce reports and provide insights to support decision-making.
  • Maintain reward policies, processes and systems, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency.
  • Partner with HR and business stakeholders to provide advice and support on reward matters.

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.
