Location: Kent-based, with regular travel across the region
Salary: Up to £50,000 per annum
Contract: Permanent
Working pattern: Home-based with travel to operational sites approximately 2 to 3 days per week
An excellent opportunity has arisen for a confident and experienced HR professional to join a large, growing organisation as a Regional HR Business Partner.
You’ll act as the main HR contact for leaders across a portfolio of sites, building strong relationships and providing straightforward, solution-focused support. The role combines hands-on employee relations casework with wider business partnering responsibilities, including organisational change, manager coaching, recruitment, compliance and people projects.
You’ll be joining a busy and evolving environment, so this role would suit someone who is comfortable managing competing priorities, working independently and spending time with stakeholders across different locations.
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.
