You will be part of a business that has an extensive track record in building phenomenal HR careers, with many examples of internal promotions and development opportunities across their HR Consultancy structure. Adult, flexible and values-led, this is a HR Consultancy that has created a truly exciting and supportive team at the core of what they do.
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.
The role
- Provide pragmatic HR advice across complex ER matters, including restructures, redundancies, capability and whistleblowing.
- Support senior stakeholders with organisation design, workforce planning, and “size and shape” conversations.
- Build long-term client relationships that drive repeat business.
- Attend networking events and education-focused client activity; this is not a cold-calling role.
- Work closely with an HR Adviser, delegating lower-complexity work where appropriate.
About you
- Strong generalist HR background, ideally gained in education or in an HR consultancy serving education clients.
- Comfortable advising senior stakeholders including CEOs, headteachers and HR leaders.
- Experience of complex ER and organisational change.
- Commercially aware and relationship-led, with confidence representing the business externally.
