Reporting to one of our Senior People Business Partners, you will provide thoughtful, commercially aware, and legally sound advice to our people managers.

What you’ll be doing:
- Leading ER casework including disciplinary, grievance, capability, whistleblowing, absence management, early conciliations, settlement agreements and tribunal claims
- Providing risk-assessed, pragmatic guidance to managers that balances compliance with real-world business needs
- Coaching line managers and delivering training that builds confident, capable leadership
- Analysing ER trends and partnering with stakeholders to drive proactive people solutions
- Supporting the continuous improvement of policies, processes, and ER-related projects
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.
