Job Description

We're looking for a talented HR Consultant to provide client-focused, pragmatic HR advice and support to schools and academies across the education sector.

The role

As an HR Consultant, you'll deliver comprehensive and pragmatic HR advice and support to schools and academies in line with their specific policies, procedures, and legal requirements. You'll be joining a team of legal and HR specialists with a wealth of education knowledge and experience, consistently featured in Band One of the Legal 500 and Chambers UK listings. You'll build excellent relationships with clients at all levels, striving to deliver pragmatic, sector-orientated advice that is carefully aligned to clients' interests and at the forefront of national best practice.

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.
