Variety. Purpose. People.
Bring agility, judgement and emotional intelligence to work that makes a real difference.
Join the City of London’s incredible Employee Relations Team and help managers and colleagues navigate a wide range of people matters with confidence, care and professionalism. You will become part of a collaborative, supportive group that shares expertise, values one another’s contribution and is committed to making a real difference. One day you may be supporting a sensitive grievance or sickness absence case; the next, coordinating an employment tribunal bundle, researching a legal update, improving case data or contributing to a change project.
Why this role stands out
- Real variety: move confidently between casework, projects, research, reporting, training support and stakeholder queries.
- Meaningful impact: help create fair processes, positive working relationships and practical solutions.
- Trusted relationships: work with managers, employees, trade unions, HR colleagues, legal advisers and external partners.
- Room to grow: deepen your employment law knowledge and develop broad, hands-on ER experience in a large, multi-disciplined organisation.
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.
What you’ll bring
You will thrive here if you can quickly understand what each situation needs and adapt your approach without losing sight of fairness or detail. High emotional intelligence is essential: you will listen carefully, recognise different perspectives, stay composed under pressure and communicate sensitively while giving clear, credible advice.
- Agility to switch pace, priorities and style across different types of work.
- Sound HR knowledge, including UK employment law and employee relations casework.
- Strong organisation, written communication and attention to detail.
- Confidence, discretion and integrity when handling sensitive information.
- A collaborative, customer-focused approach and the initiative to keep work moving.
If you are energised by variety, motivated by helping people and able to bring both clear thinking and empathy to complex situations, we would love to hear from you.
