We're Nichols - the home of Vimto, and there is no other business quite like ours!
We have been making life taste better since 1908. Every day here is bursting with flavour – from the loved brands we’re proud to share with the world, to the energy, ambition and innovative ideas that fizz through our teams.
As well as our refreshingly different Vimto taste, our varied brand portfolio spans the still, carbonated, post-mix and frozen drinks categories – so you will find us in your local supermarket, pub and leisure outlet. We also work with the UK’s leading food manufacturers to provide a truly unique range of products that everyone loves.
At the heart of everything is our rich family heritage, an unrelenting ambition to keep innovating, and a true pride in who we are. This is a place where you can be yourself, speak up, and get stuck in. We celebrate the wins, cheer each other on and keep things fizzing with positivity. From leaders who listen to teammates who’ve always got your back, its work that feels as good as it tastes!
We take a refreshingly agile approach to how we work, combining the energy of being together in the office with the flexibility of working from home. You’ll be office-based three days a week, with core hours designed to help you balance work and home life.
Nichols is where serious fun meets real opportunities – and where work tastes better.
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY:
We’re looking for a People Advisor to join our team and help keep our people experience running as smoothly as our drinks do!
You’ll play a key role in delivering a professional, proactive and people-focused HR service across the business, working closely with our People Business Partners and supporting the wider People Operations team. You’ll be someone people can count on, whether that’s navigating a tricky employee relations issue, helping bring a people project to life, or simply making sure our day-to-day people processes are working as they should be.
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.
You’ll bring your HR expertise to employee relations matters, coaching and upskilling managers whilst they navigate challenges with confidence, always ensuring our policies, processes and employment legislation are applied consistently and fairly.
Alongside this, you’ll get involved in a range of exciting people projects and initiatives that support our wider people strategy. We’re looking for someone who can spot opportunities, solve problems and bring a practical, can-do attitude to whatever comes their way.
This is a real unique opportunity to take on a varied HR role, combining hands-on generalist responsibilities with the opportunity to proactively lead and deliver impactful projects. We’re looking for someone who is confident to take ownership and thrives on working independently to make things happen.
In short, we’re after someone who knows their HR stuff, loves working with people and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in.
If you’re looking for a role where you can make a real impact (and have some fun while doing it!) we’d love to hear from you!
