Senior People Administrator

Wootton, Bedfordshire | Full Time | Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm

Are you an experienced HR Administrator who loves keeping things organised, solving problems and making sure people have a great experience?

We’re looking for a Senior People Administrator to join our People Team, based onsite at our Head Office in Wootton, Bedfordshire. This is a varied and important role where you’ll help keep our HR operation running smoothly, supporting colleagues and managers throughout the employee lifecycle.

You’ll be someone who takes pride in getting the detail right, enjoys being the person others can rely on, and is confident using HR systems — particularly Workday.

What You’ll Be Doing:

You’ll play a key role in keeping our people processes running efficiently and ensuring our colleagues receive a professional, responsive HR service.

You’ll:

  • Be the People Team Workday champion, ensuring starters, leavers and contractual changes are processed accurately and on time.
  • Support managers and colleagues with Workday queries, helping them navigate processes and get the most from the system.
  • Monitor key HR processes including pre-employment checks, onboarding and leavers, making sure everything happens when it should.
  • Maintain accurate employee records across Workday and SharePoint, ensuring information is secure, up to date and handled in line with GDPR and data protection requirements.
  • Manage the HR inbox, responding to queries promptly and providing a friendly, professional and customer-focused service.

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.
