- Developing and implementing the overall people and HR strategy

- Managing the full employee lifecycle from recruitment and onboarding through to exit
- Managing employee relations including disciplinary, grievance and redundancy processes

- Supporting organisational change and the continued development of an effective hybrid working culture
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.

- The ability to create and improve HR policies, processes and frameworks

A CIPD Level 5+ qualification would be advantageous, as would previous experience within an SME or scaling organisation, HRIS implementation, organisational change or supporting employees internationally.
Why consider it?
This isn't a heavily siloed corporate HR position. You'll have genuine ownership of the people function and direct access to senior leadership, with the freedom to shape HR processes and influence how the organisation develops.
The 20-hour working week and flexible hybrid arrangement could make it particularly attractive to an experienced HR professional looking for a senior, autonomous position without returning to a conventional five-day working week.
