We’re Hiring: People Operations Generalist (Hybrid – Head Office, Watford, 3 days/week) ✨

Imagine being at the centre of a People function that keeps a fast-paced, multi-site business running smoothly — supporting our teams, strengthening processes, and delivering a consistent, high-quality employee experience.

As People Operations Partner, you’ll play a key role in bridging day-to-day People support with continuous improvement. From onboarding and systems to employee relations and process optimisation, you’ll help ensure our People Operations function is efficient, scalable, and built to support growth.

Your day-to-day will include:

  • Acting as the on-site People contact for Head Office, providing in-person support to managers and teams
  • Delivering hands-on People support across onboarding, systems, compliance, and employee relations
  • Managing mid-level ER cases, ensuring consistency, clear documentation, and alignment with company policies
  • Coaching and supporting People Advisors, helping to maintain quality and consistency across activities
  • Maintaining accurate People data and systems, supporting reporting and insights
  • Supporting onboarding and learning initiatives aligned to operational needs
  • Assisting with talent acquisition activity, including screening and coordination
  • Identifying and driving improvements to People processes and service delivery
  • Acting as a trusted advisor to managers, providing pragmatic and commercially focused guidance

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.
