About the Role
Founded in the last few years, our client provides straightforward card payment and point-of-sale solutions for small and medium-sized businesses. This company is at an exciting stage in their growth and it is a great time to join the team. We are looking for an Employee Relations Specialist to own the caseload and handle all ER issues professionally.
What the Job Entails
As Employee Relations Specialist, you will own and manage the UK employee relations caseload from end to end, covering grievances, disciplinaries, conduct, sickness and absence. Based in the West London office five days a week, you will provide practical, legally sound advice in a fast-paced environment.
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.
