Your new company

My client is a well-established and growing Norwich-based organisation. And as part of their continued growth, they are seeking an experienced HR Advisor to join their HR team and provide a professional, commercially focused HR service across multiple business areas.

Your new role

As HR Advisor, you will act as a key business partner, providing expert HR guidance and support to managers across a multisite operation. You will take ownership of a broad range of employee relations matters, ensuring policies, procedures, and employment legislation are applied consistently and effectively.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Managing a wide range of employee relations cases including disciplinary, grievance, performance, absence, redundancy, and capability matters.
  • Advising and coaching managers on HR policies, procedures, and best practice.
  • Supporting organisational change projects including restructures and redundancies.
  • Monitoring absence and probation processes, providing guidance and recommendations where required.
  • Supporting recruitment and onboarding activities across allocated business areas.
  • Assisting managers with investigations, hearings, and formal meetings, including note-taking and report writing.
  • Analysing HR metrics and KPIs to identify trends and recommend improvements.
  • Supporting performance management and appraisal processes.
  • Contributing to the delivery of people plans and wider HR strategic objectives.
  • Leading and supporting HR projects as required.

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.
