About the Role

An established organisation who I have worked with on a number of occasions are seeking an experienced HR Advisor / HR Officer to join its busy People team on a temporary basis. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Human Resources generalist to work in a fast-paced environment where you'll play a key role in delivering a high-quality HR service across recruitment, employee life cycle administration, HR systems, and employee relations.

Your New Role

As HR Advisor, you will provide comprehensive support across the employee life cycle, with responsibilities including:

  • Managing recruitment and onboarding activities, including drafting and posting adverts, coordinating interviews, issuing contracts, and supporting hiring managers
  • Supporting the implementation and ongoing use of an Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
  • Maintaining employee records and processing changes through the HR Information System (HRIS), including new starters, contractual changes, and leavers.
  • Producing HR reports and monitoring key people processes such as probation reviews.
  • Providing first-line HR advice to managers and employees on policies and procedures.
  • Supporting employee relations activities, including note-taking at formal meetings and managing employee administration.
  • Assisting with HR communications, intranet content, and service desk enquiries.

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.
