Location: Birmingham / Hybrid. We operate a hybrid working model, with the team typically attending the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays. There may be occasions where additional office attendance is required to support training, team activities or business need.
Interview dates: 7th - 11th September
We are working towards a start date of beginning of October.
PURPOSE OF THE ROLE
We're looking for a highly organised and customer-focused People Services Administrator to join our multi-skilled People Services team.
The People Services Administrator provides administrative support across multiple People Services functions, including HR Services, Onboarding and Resourcing Administration. The role is responsible for delivering accurate, timely and customer-focused support throughout the employee lifecycle, ensuring compliance with BBC policies, procedures and service standards. Working within a shared service environment, the postholder will work flexibly across teams to support changing business priorities, workload demands and customer needs. The role requires strong attention to detail, effective stakeholder communication and the ability to manage a varied workload across multiple People Services processes.
This is an exciting opportunity to develop experience across a broad range of People activities while supporting candidates, employees and hiring managers throughout their journey with the BBC.
WHY JOIN THE TEAM
Our People Services team is at the heart of supporting the BBC workforce.
You'll join a collaborative and supportive environment where flexibility, teamwork and continuous improvement are highly valued. This role offers the opportunity to develop knowledge across recruitment, onboarding and HR administration, while gaining valuable exposure to the full employee lifecycle.
Alongside building experience across multiple People Services disciplines, you'll benefit from our hybrid approach to working, combining office-based collaboration with the flexibility of working from home where appropriate.
No two days are the same. Whether you're supporting candidates through recruitment, helping new starters join the BBC, or assisting employees and managers with HR administration, you'll play an important role in delivering a positive customer experience.
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.
