This is an exceptional, exciting opportunity for an experienced HR professional to join our People and Education Directorate at a time of significant ambition, transformation and change. As a newly created HR Business Partner role, this position offers the rare chance to help define, shape and influence both the role itself and the support we provide across the organisation.
We are looking for an experienced, credible and commercially minded HR professional who thrives on variety, challenge and partnership working. This is not a role for someone seeking a narrow specialist remit or a predictable routine. No two days are the same. One day you could be supporting a complex employee relations case, the next leading a strategic workforce planning discussion with senior leaders, facilitating organisational change, supporting service redesign or developing OD solutions to improve workforce performance and experience.
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.
This role sits within the People Experience portfolio in an evolving and forward-thinking Directorate where you'll have the opportunity to work across the full breadth of the people agenda, acting as a trusted adviser to operational and senior leaders. You'll influence decision-making, challenge thinking, drive improvement and help shape workforce strategies that directly impact patient care and organisational success.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys operating at a strategic level and who is energised by working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly. You'll need to be comfortable navigating complexity, building strong relationships and turning workforce challenges into practical solutions.
