Head of HR – Hybrid Role (London)

Robert Half is working exclusively with a high-growth, premium multi-site business to appoint a Head of HR.

Location

London | Hybrid: 3 days onsite

About the Role

This is a critical leadership position for an organisation with ambitious expansion plans. The Head of HR will play a pivotal role in shaping the people agenda across a rapidly growing operational workforce, ensuring the company has the right structure, capabilities, and talent to drive its continued business growth.

The ideal candidate is a commercially minded HR leader who recognises that HR is far more than a support function—it is a key driver of business performance, directly impacting workforce productivity, retention, and profitability.

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.
