HR Advisor - Food Manufacturing | Up to £40,000 + Bonus | On-site
Some HR roles are all about policies.
This one is about people.
You'll spend as much time on the factory floor as you do behind a desk. Coaching managers. Supporting employees. Solving problems before they become bigger problems.
Why this role?
Because this business genuinely invests in its people.
You'll join a supportive HR team where you'll have the opportunity to broaden your experience across recruitment, employee relations, engagement, reward and continuous improvement projects.
There are genuine opportunities to develop your career, both within the HR function and across a wider international group, with support available for further professional qualifications.
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.
