When people data is accurate, accessible and well managed, the whole HR function works better. As a People Systems Administrator, you'll help make that happen, taking ownership of day-to-day system queries, maintaining reliable information and supporting improvements that make processes easier for everyone who uses them.

With hybrid working and the opportunity to build valuable HRIS expertise, this is a great contract for someone who enjoys the systems and data side of HR.

- Salary of £26,000 - £31,000, depending on experience.
- Hybrid working, giving you greater flexibility across your working week.
- A 12-month fixed-term contract within an established organisation.
- Hands-on involvement in HR system configuration, maintenance and development.
- Exposure to system upgrades, testing and the introduction of new functionality.
- The opportunity to influence process improvements and strengthen your HR systems expertise.
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.
