People Operations Administrator
We’re looking for a People Operations Administrator to join our People Operations team at Specsavers, supporting the delivery of an excellent end-to-end people experience for our Partners, Managers and colleagues across the business.
In this role, you’ll provide HR administration support across the full employee lifecycle, managing administration for new starters, changes to terms and conditions and leavers across Partners, M&D and UK Support Office functions. Your day to day will involve:
- Creating and maintaining accurate colleague records on the people system
- Responding to queries accurately and in a timely manner
- Managing workloads through shared team responsibility
You’ll work closely with the Resourcing team to support the new starter process and onboarding experience, liaise with Partners and Line Managers to manage bespoke correspondence, and run regular reports to complete weekly rota’d tasks.
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.
