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 project work, you’ll act as a trusted advisor, providing pragmatic, commercially focused people support across day-to-day HR matters.
About The Role
You’ll be part of a collaborative and forward-thinking People Team, playing a key role in strengthening the organisation by helping us attract, retain, and develop talented people who deliver exceptional services.

- Proven experience coaching managers, supporting the leadership team and leading complex casework
- Strong knowledge of employment law
- Experience in large, multi-site organisations
- Ideally, exposure to regulated environments (e.g. CQC, Ofsted)
- CIPD qualification and a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach
- Flexibility to travel across the UK as needed
You’re collaborative, decisive, and calm under pressure—someone who can balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery.
