Milton Keynes - Hybrid Working (2 Days Office Based)

About the Company

I'm partnering with a growing hi-tech organisation that's investing heavily in its People function during an exciting period of transformation. With around 700 employees, this is a business where HR has a genuine voice and the opportunity to influence change. 🌟

About the Role

This is a true People Business Partner role where you'll become the trusted advisor for your own business areas, partnering with senior leaders to deliver commercially focused people solutions. You'll balance strategic partnering with hands-on HR, supporting organisational change while helping to shape a positive, high-performing culture. 🚀

  • Partnering with leaders across designated business areas, providing trusted HR advice and guidance
  • Leading organisational change, restructures and redundancy processes
  • Managing complex employee relations cases including disciplinaries, grievances, capability, absence and performance
  • Using HR data and insights to influence decision-making and identify trends
  • Supporting workforce planning, succession planning and organisational development
  • Driving HR projects, systems improvements and process enhancements
  • Coaching managers to build confidence and capability in people management
  • Working closely with Talent, Reward and L&D to deliver joined-up people solutions

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.
