An established and growing multi-site organisation is seeking an experienced HR professional to lead a comprehensive HR and compliance improvement project. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys building strong HR foundations, working autonomously, and partnering with senior leaders to create practical, lasting improvements.

Working closely with the senior management team, you will review current HR practices, modernise documentation and processes, ensure compliance with employment legislation, and develop a framework that supports the organisation as it continues to grow.

This is a hands-on project role offering a varied workload, the opportunity to influence positive change, and the flexibility of hybrid working.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct a full audit of current HR policies, procedures, and practices.
  • Review and update employment contracts to ensure compliance with current legislation.
  • Rewrite and modernise the employee handbook.
  • Review personnel records and recommend improvements to HR record management.
  • Review and update job descriptions across the organisation.
  • Meet with managers and employees to gain an understanding of individual roles and responsibilities.
  • Develop practical performance review and probation processes.
  • Support managers with employee relations guidance and HR best practice.
  • Review HR compliance across multiple operational locations.
  • Review health and safety administration, training records, and compliance documentation.
  • Produce recommendations and an implementation plan to support future growth.
  • Build trusted relationships across the business while maintaining confidentiality and professionalism.

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.
