About the Role
Our client based in Warrington, but with a multi-site footprint is a well established brand and an out and out specialist in their field, but one which is literally about to take on their entire industry. In the process of a huge scale/change piece, this role is a key part of that change and the time is right for them to hire and onboard a true generalist People & Culture Lead to assist the Fractional CPO in building out a function, both operationally and strategically.
Ideally bringing experience of working in a fast paced and dynamic SME, with strategic input absolutely on offer and needed; the business is outstanding in terms of its place in their sector and as such, a forward thinking HR policy/strategy is required.
A new role in its makeup, it's a real opportunity for someone to either come in and take ownership from an experienced standpoint, but could also suit an applicant from a Snr HR Advisory space, looking to step up into leadership for the first time - especially given that there is an inspirational fractional CPO in place as a potential mentor.
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.

This is a rarely available role for an already prominent brand, which is about to explode and we'd love to hear from anyone keen to learn more about its scope.
A real challenge is on offer as businesses within this sector can be chaotic and change driven by nature, but it is a successful and strong business where people are at the forefront of that success, and the HR team is an integral driver behind that. You should be an out and out generalist to be considered, systems savvy and if you brought with you experience of a multi site business within a sector that employs both blue and white collar workforces, that would be amazing!
