HR Advisor (Maternity Cover)
Edinburgh (Hybrid) | Fixed-Term Contract | Full Time
We're looking for an experienced HR Advisor to join our friendly and supportive HR team on a maternity cover contract.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong employee relations background who enjoys providing practical, people-focused advice and building positive working relationships with managers and colleagues.
You'll manage a varied caseload including absence, disciplinary, grievance and performance matters, while also contributing to wider HR activity such as recruitment support, employee queries, payroll processes and general employee lifecycle administration.
Given the short-term nature of the role, we're looking for someone who can quickly build relationships, confidently manage their own caseload and make an immediate contribution to the team.
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.
