People Advisor
Shoreham-by-Sea (Hybrid)
Up to £40,000
(Internal Job Level Reference: Senior Associate)
Focus Group is one of the UK's fastest growing independent providers of essential business technology — and we're scaling fast. With over 1,400 people today and ambitious growth plans ahead, including further acquisitions, this is a genuinely exciting time to join our People & Culture team.
We're looking for a People Advisor to be a trusted, go-to expert on employee relations and day-to-day people advice across the Group, while getting real exposure to strategic projects alongside our People Business Partners.
What you'll be doing
You'll be the first point of expertise for employee relations matters, coaching and supporting managers at all levels to build their own confidence and capability. You'll keep on top of employment legislation, work with external legal partners and ACAS when needed, and play a hands-on role supporting the people integration of newly acquired businesses — a brilliant opportunity to build M&A experience as we continue to grow through acquisition.
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.
Beyond ER, you'll work closely with our People Business Partners on wider projects that shape our people agenda, using data and insight to track impact and make evidence-based recommendations.
What we're looking for
- 3+ years solid HR generalist experience across the employee lifecycle
- Confidence managing complex ER cases and advising managers at all levels
- A coaching mindset — building manager capability, not dependency
- A data-driven, analytical approach
- Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust quickly
- CIPD qualified, or working towards it
