The Opportunity
This is an excellent opportunity for an aspiring HR professional looking to take the next step in their career and gain exposure far beyond a traditional HR Advisor role. Working within a growing, multi-site manufacturing business, you'll partner closely with an experienced HR Business Partner, supporting a range of sites across Warrington & the north west region. You'll be given exposure to the full employee lifecycle, complex employee relations activity, organisational change, acquisitions, TUPE projects, leadership coaching and people initiatives that genuinely impact the business.
Key Responsibilities
Reporting to the HR Business Partner, you'll act as a trusted advisor to managers and employees across a diverse operational workforce. This is a highly visible, hands-on role where you'll spend time building on site, coaching managers, supporting employee relations activity and contributing to a range of people-focused projects. No two days are the same. One day you could be supporting a disciplinary or grievance process, the next working on a change project, recruitment initiative or organisational development activity.
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.
