HR Business Partner | 12 Month Fixed Term Contract | Burton upon Trent (Hybrid)
Looking for a true HR Business Partner role where you can genuinely influence business performance?
We’re working exclusively with a global, purpose-driven organisation to recruit an experienced HR Business Partner on a 12 month fixed term contract.
This is far more than a traditional operational HR role. It is an opportunity to partner with senior commercial leaders, shape people strategy and help drive organisational performance within a complex, international business.
Why consider this opportunity?
- A true strategic HR Business Partner role.
- Partner directly with senior commercial stakeholders.
- Lead on organisational development, talent management and succession planning.
- Support business transformation and organisational growth.
- Work within a collaborative HR function alongside specialist Centres of Excellence.
- Hybrid working, with a minimum of two days per week based in Burton upon Trent.
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.
