Reporting to the HR Business Partner, you will work closely with site leadership teams to deliver a proactive HR service that supports business performance, colleague engagement, and organisational growth. As a trusted advisor, you will provide coaching, guidance, and challenge to managers across all aspects of people management, helping to create a positive and high-performing culture.
We offer flexible and hybrid working arrangements, which can be discussed further during the interview process. Due to the collaborative nature of the role and the need to build strong relationships with stakeholders, regular presence at our Grantham, Lincolnshire office is required, therefore candidates should be within a commutable distance.

- Recruitment
- Onboarding
- Talent development
- Engagement
- Performance management
- Organisational change
Working closely with HR Centres of Excellence, you will help embed people plans that build capability, strengthen talent pipelines, and improve the overall colleague experience. You will also use people data and insights to identify trends, inform decision-making, and support improvements in areas such as retention, attendance, and engagement.

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.
