HR Advisor
Fixed Term Contract until end of 2026
Birmingham - 2 days/week in office
Full Time - 37.5 hours per week

The Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced HR Advisor to join a growing, people-focused organisation on a fixed-term basis.
This is a broad HR generalist role with a strong focus on employee relations, providing professional HR advice and guidance to managers and employees across the business. You will work closely with the HR Manager and contribute to a positive, inclusive and engaging workplace.

The role would suit an experienced HR Advisor who is comfortable working in a smaller-medium organisation and enjoys a varied, hands-on workload.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide HR advice and guidance on capability, disciplinaries, grievances, performance and absence management.
  • Support formal and informal meetings, providing appropriate HR guidance and accurate documentation.
  • Support recruitment, onboarding and offboarding activities, including drafting adverts and supporting interviews.
  • Conduct and support progress and exit interviews, identifying areas for improvement.
  • Maintain accurate HR systems, employee records and training data.
  • Support training needs analysis and the development of effective training programmes.
  • Contribute to employee engagement, wellbeing and wider people-focused projects.
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation to deliver people objectives.

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.
