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 manage a range of employee relations cases including disciplinary, grievance, absence, and performance matters. The role involves providing expert advice to managers, conducting investigations, and supporting the resolution of workplace issues in line with employment law and organisational policies.
You’ll also support manager development by providing coaching and guidance, helping to build confidence and capability in handling ER matters. In addition, you will identify trends, contribute to continuous improvement, and promote a positive, inclusive working culture.
About you
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys problem-solving, managing complex cases, and influencing positive workplace outcomes.
You will have previous experience handling employee relations cases, either in a specialist ER role or within a generalist HR position. You’ll have a sound understanding of UK employment law and be confident advising managers at all levels.
