Are you an experienced HR professional looking for a role where you can lead, influence and make a genuine difference?
About The Role
At Housing Solutions, we're looking for a People Services Manager who thrives on variety. This is a broad and rewarding role that combines leadership of our day-to-day People Services operations with the opportunity to shape organisational culture, champion inclusion and contribute to strategic people initiatives that make a real impact across the business.
No two days are the same. You could be:
- Supporting managers with complex employee relations matters
- Leading improvements to our people systems and processes
- Analysing workforce data
- Driving learning and development initiatives
- Leading projects that help deliver positive change across the organisation
As the lead for our Inclusion Champion Team, you'll play a key role in championing equity, diversity and inclusion, and creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected and able to thrive.
You'll lead and develop a small, dedicated team delivering People Services across the entire employee lifecycle, from recruitment and onboarding through to learning and development and employee relations. Building strong relationships across the organisation, you'll become a trusted adviser to managers and senior leaders, helping navigate complex people matters, balance risk with pragmatism and ensure our services remain effective, compliant and focused on delivering the best possible colleague experience.
About you
We're looking for someone with:
- Strong generalist HR experience
- Line management experience
- Excellent relationship-building skills
- A proactive, solutions-focused approach
You'll be comfortable working across the full employee lifecycle, leading and developing others, and partnering with managers and senior leaders to find practical solutions to people challenges. You'll have sound judgement, a strong understanding of employment law and risk, and a genuine enthusiasm for improving services, supporting inclusion and continuing to develop your own skills and experience.
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.
