The Position
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.
Responsibilities will include effective administration of all HR related processes and employee life-cycle issues and supporting the trust’s external payroll provider to provide an effective payroll and pension service.

What you will offer
- You will have the organizational skills and resilience to enable you to thrive when managing deadlines or conflicting priorities.
- You will have strong interpersonal skills enabling you to deal sensitively and constructively with difficult situations and to work well with a range of different people.
- Above all, you will be curious, self-motivated and flexible enough to turn your hand happily to a wide range of roles.
What we will offer
- You will be joining a friendly and engaging workplace with benefits including:
- Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS)
- A strong commitment to professional development
- We strive to be a family-friendly employer
- Employee counselling service
- Cycle2work scheme
