Smart Works is now hiring a People Coordinator
Smart Works is now hiring a People Coordinator to form part of an interim team structure during a period of maternity leave.
About the Opportunity
This is an exciting 12-month opportunity for someone who has previously worked in an office environment, has good administrative skills and would like to gain experience in both HR and recruitment within a non-profit organisation.
About You
Some experience in an HR or recruitment role would be an advantage but is not essential - we're looking for a compassionate and organised individual who shares Smart Works' mission for promoting fair hiring and employment practices and treating candidates and employees with dignity and respect.
What You'll Be Doing
You will be part of the small but mighty People and Culture team, who work with hiring managers and staff in the ten Smart Works centres across the UK. You will receive on-the-job training as well as plenty of opportunities to shadow key HR processes, get involved in project work, and have access to our e-learning platform for your professional development.
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.
