HR Advisor (Maternity Cover)
Fixed Term Contract - Initial 3 Months (with potential to extend up to 4 months)
Ideally starting 9 November 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter.
We're looking for an experienced HR Advisor to join our friendly and supportive HR team on a maternity cover contract.
This role has a strong employee relations focus. You'll manage a varied caseload including absence, disciplinary, grievance and performance matters, providing practical, people-focused advice to managers and supporting them through processes from start to finish.
Alongside casework, you'll contribute to day-to-day HR activity, including responding to queries, supporting recruitment, payroll processes and general employee lifecycle administration.
Due to the short-term nature of the contract, we're looking for someone who can quickly build relationships, pick up an active caseload and make an immediate contribution to the team.
Working Pattern
Monday to Friday 9:00am to 5:00pm
1 hour unpaid break.
About You
You'll be:
- An experienced HR Advisor with a strong employee relations background.
- Confident managing disciplinary, grievance, absence and performance cases.
- Able to work independently while managing your own caseload.
- Comfortable balancing employee relations work with wider HR activity.
- Approachable, pragmatic and focused on finding practical solutions.
- A collaborative team player who values sharing knowledge and continuous improvement.
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.
What You'll Be Joining
We're a small, supportive HR team that works closely together and values collaboration.
While you'll be expected to manage your own caseload, you'll have regular support from two fellow HR Advisors, with opportunities to discuss cases, reflect on best practice and share learning. More complex matters can be escalated to the HR Manager for additional guidance where needed.
We have clear processes and resources in place, alongside a people-focused approach that supports managers while ensuring fairness and consistency for employees.
If you're an experienced HR professional who can hit the ground running and would enjoy being part of a friendly and supportive team, we'd love to hear from you.
We Offer
Our Benefits include
- Excellent holidays of up to 34 days per year (pro rata for part time employees)
- Opportunities to receive support and funding for vocational and/or professional qualifications
- Great learning and development opportunities
- Cycle to Work Scheme
- Employee Assistance Programme
