HR & Recruitment Manager: Family Office
Central London
c. £140,000 depending on experience
One of our private clients, a single-family office, is seeking an experienced HR & Recruitment Manager to lead both the human resources and the recruitment functions across a discreet and varied private operation, spanning the Family Office itself, the principal’s private households, plus other projects including marine and aviation. Reporting directly to the Head of the Family Office with real autonomy, this is a senior, hands-on appointment for someone who is equally strong on the two halves of the role: running a professional HR function across the full employee lifecycle, and personally leading recruitment to find and secure exceptional staff for a demanding, high-standards environment. It is a genuine dual mandate: this is not an HR role with occasional hiring, nor a recruiter who dabbles in HR, but a professional who has done both at a senior level and can own them together.

Recruitment
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Build and maintain a strong network of candidates, agencies and sources across private household, family office and crew recruitment.
- Manage the full hiring process discreetly and to a high standard, from search through offer, referencing and onboarding.
HR and employee relations
- Own the full employee lifecycle across the operation — onboarding, contracts, performance, development and exits — for a multi-site, multi-disciplinary workforce.
- Act as the trusted point of contact for the principals and staff on all HR matters, handling sensitive issues with complete confidentiality.
- Lead grievances, disciplinaries and terminations robustly and fairly, managing legal risk throughout.
Employment law and compliance
- Ensure the organisation is compliant across UK employment law, contracts, policies and record-keeping, and keep practice current as the law changes.
- Advise the principals and senior team on employment risk and the right course of action on difficult matters.
