This is an excellent opportunity for someone with strong administrative and communication skills looking to take their first step into HR, or an existing HR or recruitment administrator seeking broader experience and career development.
A key focus of the role will be managing and coordinating the College's recruitment and selection process, ensuring a smooth and positive experience for candidates and hiring managers.

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.
Alongside recruitment, there will be opportunity to support the wider HR team with a variety of activities, giving you exposure to all areas of the employee lifecycle and the opportunity to build valuable generalist HR experience. The successful candidate will be highly organised, detail-oriented and comfortable handling confidential information with accuracy and discretion. You will have excellent written communication skills, strong IT capabilities and the ability to manage competing priorities while meeting deadlines. A positive, flexible and solution-focused approach is essential.
You will work closely with colleagues across the College and use a range of digital systems and software packages. Full training will be provided, but you should be confident using Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook, and be keen to learn new systems and technologies.
