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
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
