An exceptional opportunity has arisen for two graduates to join the HR team of a highly regarded and fast-growing organisation.
This graduate programme offers an outstanding opportunity to begin your career within Human Resources, gaining exposure across key areas of the HR function whilst working alongside experienced professionals in a collaborative, high-performing, and intellectually stimulating environment.
Successful candidates will begin with a six-month placement in the London office before relocating to Newcastle on a permanent basis. During the recruitment process, you will be considered for two specialist HR pathways—HR generalist or Early Careers. Whilst you will have the opportunity to learn more about both teams, final placement will be determined by the business based on your strengths and where you are best suited.
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.
