Head of HR | 12-Month FTE | London | up to ยฃ100,000
Not every Head of People role comes with this level of impact. We are working on a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Head of People to join a well-known, high-profile organisation on a 12-month contract, starting November 2026.
This isn't a role where you'll simply keep the HR wheels turning. You'll lead a team of HR professionals, partnering with senior leadership to shape people strategy across multiple business areas.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Iโm in my final year doing Economics and I donโt know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer โ it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donโt need a masters. Letโs look at the ones youโd 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 โ that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
