A hands-on HR leadership role with real influence in a growing national facilities management business

Are you a people-focused HR professional who enjoys being visible, practical and close to the day-to-day running of a business?

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to make a real difference, support managers, strengthen standards and help shape a positive workplace culture.

What you'll be doing

  • Lead the people and culture function across the business
  • Manage, support and develop the full office team at head office
  • Create a positive, organised and supportive head office culture
  • Manage employee relations, including absence, performance, disciplinary and grievance matters
  • Support recruitment, onboarding, HR records, policies and compliance
  • Coach managers and improve people processes, communication and standards

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.
