About the Client
My client is a large and well-established education/training organisation, supporting around 1,500 employees across several sites. With a collaborative People team and a strong focus on employee experience, this is an opportunity to join an organisation where HR plays an important role in supporting its success.
About the Job
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced People Advisor to join the team on an initial 6-month FTC, with a significant focus on employee relations and with potential for other opportunities arising. You’ll work closely with People Partners and managers across the organisation, managing a busy ER caseload and providing confident, practical advice in line with employment law and internal policies.
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.
