We’re working with a well-established organisation in Manchester that is looking for a People Services Administrator to join their team on a permanent basis. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with strong HR administration and Shared Services experience who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in delivering a high-quality service to employees and managers.

As People Services Administrator, you will play a key role in supporting the smooth delivery of the People function, ensuring employees receive an efficient, responsive and customer-focused service throughout the employee lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

  • Providing a high-quality People Services/HR administration service across the employee lifecycle, from onboarding through to offboarding.
  • Maintaining accurate and up-to-date employee records, primarily through Workday.
  • Supporting and administering HR processes through Workday, ensuring data is accurate and systems are kept up to date.
  • Preparing contracts, letters and other employment documentation.
  • Supporting onboarding, contractual changes, promotions, transfers and leavers.
  • Responding to employee and manager queries, providing accurate and timely information and escalating more complex matters where appropriate.
  • Working closely with Payroll to ensure accurate and timely processing of employee changes.
  • Producing HR reports and providing accurate People data and insights.
  • Ensuring HR processes and documentation remain compliant with employment legislation and company policies.
  • Identifying opportunities to improve people processes, systems and the overall employee experience.

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.
