Role details

Due to the substantive postholder securing a development opportunity within the HR team, we are seeking applications for a HR Support Officer to join our Human Resources team on a fixed term contract basis for up to two years.

If you recently applied for HR Support Officer (JR-999), you do not need to submit a further application for this vacancy. Applications for both roles will be considered together. Shortlisted candidates will be given the opportunity to indicate their preferred role at interview.

About the Role

The Human Resources (HR) team supports staff and managers with a broad spectrum of people-related issues. As our HR Support Officer, you will provide recruitment and administrative operations support to outcome directorates, contribute to policy and process improvement and ensure compliance with internal policy and legislative requirements.

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.
