People Projects & Policy Assistant – Gillingham – FTC 9–12 Months

Farnfields have an exciting opportunity for a fixed-term People Projects & Policy Assistant to support key people-focused projects and policy initiatives across the firm. This role can be full time, 37.5 hours per week, or part time at a minimum of 30 hours per week, for a fixed term of 9 – 12 months. Hybrid working is available for this position.

Ready to get involved in positive change?

This is not a typical entry-level HR role. If you’re analytical, organised, and keen to gain hands-on experience in HR projects and policy work, this position offers a genuine opportunity to make a meaningful contribution while gaining valuable exposure to project delivery, organisational development, and policy implementation.

About the role

Working closely with the HR Director and wider People Group, you will support the review, redesign, and rollout of HR policies while helping to coordinate and deliver a range of strategic People initiatives from planning through to implementation.

This is a newly created role with real variety and scope to contribute ideas, improve processes, and help drive positive change across the organisation.

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.
