We're looking for an experienced HR People Partner (Generalist) to join our growing professional services organisation. This is a role for someone who enjoys building trusted relationships, influencing leaders, and making a genuine impact on both people and business performance.

Client Details

You'll work closely with managers across the organisation, providing commercially focused HR advice while driving initiatives that create a positive, high-performing workplace. If you're equally comfortable coaching senior stakeholders, managing complex employee relations cases, and delivering people projects, we'd love to hear from you.

Description

What you'll be doing

  • Partnering with managers to provide proactive, commercially focused HR support.
  • Coaching and developing leaders to build confident, high-performing teams.
  • Managing a wide range of employee relations matters, including disciplinary, grievance, absence, and performance cases.
  • Supporting organisational change, restructures, and workforce planning where required.
  • Driving engagement, wellbeing, and retention initiatives.
  • Leading recruitment activity for key roles and supporting effective onboarding.
  • Using people data and insights to identify trends and recommend improvements.
  • Reviewing and developing HR policies and ensuring compliance with employment legislation.
  • Contributing to strategic HR projects that support the organisation's continued growth.

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.
