Junior HR Business Partner | £40K | Southend | Hybrid
Ready to step up from HR Advisor into your first Business Partner role?
This isn't just another HR vacancy. It's an opportunity to join a growing business where you'll have the chance to influence managers, shape people initiatives, drive change, and develop into a true HR Business Partner. If you're currently an HR Advisor looking for that next step, or you're already operating at Junior Business Partner level and want more exposure, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.
What you'll be doing
You'll work closely with managers across the business, becoming their trusted HR partner and helping them navigate everything from employee relations and performance management to organisational change and workforce planning.
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.
No two days are the same. One day you'll be coaching managers through complex ER cases. The next you'll be analysing HR data, supporting reward reviews, improving employee engagement or delivering projects that genuinely make a difference. This is a role where you'll be encouraged to challenge, influence, and bring ideas to the table, not simply follow process.
You'll also bring:
- Solid employee relations experience (absence, disciplinary, grievance, and performance)
- A good understanding of UK employment law
- Confidence partnering with managers at all levels
- Experience using HR systems and interpreting people data
- A proactive mindset with a genuine passion for improving the employee experience
- CIPD qualification (or working towards it) would be advantageous, but practical experience is just as important.

Why you'll love it
This is a business that genuinely invests in its people. You'll enjoy:
- Hybrid working (3 days office / 2 days home)
- Exposure to strategic HR projects
- Opportunities to influence senior stakeholders
- A varied role covering the full employee lifecycle
- Career development into a fully-fledged HR Business Partner
- Working as part of a collaborative and supportive HR team
The person who'll thrive here...
...is naturally curious.
- You ask questions.
- You look for better ways of doing things.
- You enjoy building relationships and aren't afraid to challenge constructively when needed.
- Most importantly, you're someone who wants to develop your career rather than simply do the day job.
