Are you an experienced HR Advisor ready to take the next step into business partnering?
This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing organisation in a developmental Junior HR Business Partner role. You'll work closely with managers, build your commercial understanding, and gain broader exposure across the full people agenda.
You won't simply be there to manage processes. You'll be encouraged to offer ideas, challenge constructively, and help managers make confident people decisions.
The Role
Working as part of a supportive HR team, you'll partner with managers across the business and provide practical, commercially focused advice.
Your Responsibilities Will Include
- Coaching managers through employee relations matters, including absence, disciplinary, grievance, and performance cases
- Building strong relationships with managers and becoming a trusted point of contact
- Supporting organisational change and workforce planning
- Using people data to identify trends and recommend improvements
- Contributing to engagement, reward, and wider people initiatives
- Supporting HR projects that improve both the employee and manager experience
- Helping to strengthen HR processes, policies, and ways of working
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.
