Senior Employee Relations Manager

We're looking for a Senior Employee Relations Manager for a leading public sector organisation, based in Cambridge (hybrid), on a permanent basis, between £50,000 and £56,500 per year + Great benefits.

This is a hybrid role with remote working available and some attendance at the office in Cambridge.

The successful Senior Employee Relations Manager will act as deputy to the Head of Employee Relations, allocating casework, line managing a team of ER Advisors and stepping up to cover the Head of ER during periods of absence. You'll provide specialist, high quality advice to senior leaders on complex ER matters, ensuring processes are fair, legally sound and free from litigation risk. You'll also lead on policy development, deliver training and represent management at panels and tribunals as required.

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.
