Job Description
The Role
As an HR Services Administrator, you will play a key part in keeping our employee lifecycle running smoothly from day one. You’ll make a real difference by ensuring accurate employee records, delivering seamless administration, and serving as a trusted point of contact for our employees and line managers. Working closely with the wider HR, Payroll and Recruitment teams, you’ll be fully supported with all the training and guidance you need to hit the ground running and succeed in your role at NEXT.
What You'll Take On
- Manage end-to-end recruitment admin, from generating offer letters and processing new starters to conducting background and Right to Work checks.
- Handle key employee lifecycle administration, including contract changes, family leave paperwork, reference requests, and leaver details.
- Maintain accurate records on our HR system (NEP), processing updates to job roles, absences, and personal details while running regular reports to ensure data integrity.
- Act as a first point of contact for employee queries via the HR mailbox and phone lines, providing clear guidance on company policies, terms and conditions, and pay processes.
- Support payroll and compliance activities, ensuring key monthly payments are processed on time and conducting necessary Visa and Sharecode checks.
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.
