Full Job Description
We’re on a mission to make work life-supportive, and to help colleagues do meaningful, people-focused work.
HR Business Partner (South / South West England)
Location: Multi-site – South/South West England residential and education services
Salary: £50,000 per annum depending on experience
Hours: 9am–5pm, Monday–Friday
Contract: Permanent
About the role
You’ll coach and support operational leaders, identify trends early, and help shape measurable people action plans that improve colleague experience and outcomes for children and vulnerable adults. You won’t be managing day-to-day employee relations cases—that support sits with our specialist HR Advice function—but you will use ER activity to spot themes, hotspot locations, and underlying organisational issues.
What you’ll do
- Act as the dedicated HR Business Partner for your allocated regional portfolio.
- Maintain a regular on-site presence (minimum two days per week), increasing where additional support is needed.
- Use workforce and engagement data to turn insight into targeted action plans with clear ownership and success measures.
- Support leaders to interpret engagement results and deliver meaningful improvement (not just survey outputs).
- Increase on-site support for identified hotspot areas by stabilising issues and embedding sustainable change.
- Help develop leadership capability and strengthen people management practice.
- Work closely with HR Advice and other HR specialists to ensure smooth handovers and learning is embedded.
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.
What we’re looking for
- Strong generalist HR experience in an operational or multi-site environment.
- Experience partnering with senior operational leaders.
- Strong understanding of UK employment law and good people management practice.
- Confidence using data to challenge assumptions and drive action.
- Approachable, solutions-focused, and comfortable travelling across your portfolio.
Education experience is an advantage, but not essential.
