On behalf of our prestigious client, the Harris Federation, we are seeking an organised, detail-oriented HR (Onboarding) Administrator to join their central HR Operations team on a temporary basis.

Based at their modern Head Office in Croydon, this role is essential in delivering an exceptional candidate experience, ensuring all new Head Office employees are seamlessly integrated and fully prepared to start their roles on time.

The Role

Reporting directly to the Central HR Manager, you will act as a key point of contact for both hiring managers and new starters. You will play a vital role in maintaining the highest standards of compliance and administration across the onboarding journey.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing comprehensive pre-employment checks and ensuring safer recruitment compliance.
  • Handling contract administration and coordinating precise payroll setup.
  • Coordinating all new starter requirements and supporting employee inductions.
  • Maintaining accurate HR records and meticulously updating the Single Central Record.
  • Assisting academies across the Federation with onboarding queries and contributing to wider HR projects and process improvements.

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.
