Eaton Syalon are currently supporting an established business in Derby with the recruitment of an experienced HR Advisor to join their team on an initial three-month temporary contract, with the potential for a permanent opportunity.

Working closely with the Head of HR and an existing HR Assistant, you will be involved in a broad range of HR activities, from providing first-line employee relations advice through to reviewing policies, supporting recruitment and contributing to ongoing HR projects.

Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

About You

- The ability to write, review and update HR policies and procedures.
