People Manager - Hybrid

6-Week Temporary Contract | £225 per day (Inside IR35) | Hybrid Working | South London

Are you an experienced HR professional ready to make an immediate impact?

We’re working with a respected South London charity seeking a People Manager to provide cover for a period of absence, an initial 6-week temporary contract. This is a great opportunity to support a purpose-driven organisation during a key period, partnering with senior leaders to strengthen people practices, engagement and culture.

The Role

Working closely with the Director of People & Culture, you’ll provide HR partnering support across the organisation, advising managers on employee relations matters and helping improve people processes, systems and leadership capability.

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.
