HR Business Partner - Learning & Development
A global, high-growth financial services business is looking for an HR Business Partner to split their time roughly 60/40 between HR business partnering and learning & development - acting as the go-to HR contact for managers and employees, while also owning the L&D agenda for the business.
This is a genuinely blended role rather than an L&D specialist role with a bit of HR bolted on. The majority of your time will be spent business partnering: advising managers, working through employee relations matters, and supporting the people side of a performance-driven, highly regulated environment. Alongside that, you'll run training needs analysis, manage relationships with third-party training providers, and work closely with line managers to embed performance management and development into day-to-day people practice.
HR Business Partnering (~60%)
- Acting as the first point of contact for managers and employees on people-related matters
- Managing employee relations casework in line with employment legislation and company policy
- Coaching and supporting line managers on performance management, development conversations and career progression
- Supporting recruitment and selection activity where required
- Contributing to policy development and continuous improvement of HR processes
- Analysing HR data and producing reports for the business
- Supporting employee engagement and wellbeing initiatives
- Supporting succession planning, talent management and internal mobility
- Ensuring HR practice reflects the organisation's values and promotes an inclusive workplace
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.
