Summary of the role
What are we looking for?
We are rebuilding our People function to be more proactive, consistent and values-led. This role is central to that shift.
As People and Culture Advisor, you will lead on employee relations and day-to-day HR advisory, helping managers handle people matters confidently and fairly.
This is a rebuild, not a replacement. You will help define what “good” HR looks like here.
This is a role with real influence and a clear pathway into a more senior role.
Key Responsibilities
Employee Relations
- Manage ER cases end-to-end (absence, conduct, performance, grievances)
- Advise managers with clear, practical guidance
- Lead investigations and hearings
- Ensure consistency and minimise risk
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.
