Why Greencore?
Following the combination with Bakkavor in January 2026, we’re one of the UK’s leading creators of convenience food, driven by a simple purpose: to make every day taste better. As a vibrant and fast-moving business, we’re proud to employ over 28,000 talented colleagues across 36 manufacturing sites and 21 distribution depots in the UK and the US. Together, we bring delicious food to life. Our products cover every meal occasion from breakfast through to dinner and dessert, with lunch and snacking in between. In FY25, our shared passion helped us achieve combined revenues of approximately £4bn.
Our extensive direct-to-store network allows us to deliver fresh and frozen food—both our own and products from trusted partners—to thousands of stores every day, ensuring consumers enjoy the very best whenever and wherever they shop.
We’re looking for a People Coordinator to join our team in Selby on a 12-month fixed-term contract. This is a hands-on, site-based role combining time-and-attendance and payroll administration with broader HR support and process improvement.
You’ll work 37.5 hours across five days out of seven. Flexibility is important because the working week will include regular weekend working and may include bank holidays to support payroll and management-reporting deadlines.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll take day-to-day ownership of time-and-attendance processing for the site, helping to ensure colleagues are paid accurately and queries are resolved promptly. You’ll also support the local People team and help document and improve people processes.
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.
