Are you an experienced People Business Partner who enjoys having the autonomy to make decisions, influence senior leaders and genuinely shape how a business develops its people?
We’re recruiting for a large, evolving organisation looking for a confident and commercially minded People Business Partner to join an established regional leadership team.
It’s an interesting time to join. The business is going through significant change, with investment in its brands, leadership structure and the development of its future talent. You’ll be right at the heart of that, working with an experienced leadership team to help the region continue to develop and perform.
A few things that make this role particularly interesting:
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

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.
- Genuine autonomy – you’ll manage your own diary and be trusted to make decisions
- A strong focus on talent, succession and leadership development
- The opportunity to coach leaders and help them build their own capability
- Plenty of change and transformation, including new ways of working and evolving brand structures
- An experienced regional team who want a People Partner who can bring ideas, solutions and constructive challenge
- Scope to influence the longer-term people agenda, rather than simply responding to day-to-day HR issues
You’ll be an established People/HR Business Partner who is self-assured, pragmatic and comfortable operating independently. You don’t need to have worked within an organisation of this size before – someone who has had broad ownership and genuine influence within a smaller business could be a great fit.
