Senior HR Administrator – Private Equity
£50,000 - £65,000 + completion bonus
My client is a well-established international investment business with a strong reputation in its market and based in the West End. They are looking to hire an experienced Senior HR Administrator to join their London-based HR team on a maternity cover contract.
This is a hands-on role with responsibility for providing accurate, dependable and high-quality HR administration across the employee lifecycle.
The successful candidate will be someone who genuinely enjoys HR administration and operations, takes pride in accuracy and organisation, and is comfortable being a reliable and knowledgeable member of the HR team.
This role would particularly suit an experienced HR administrator who is happy to build depth and expertise within HR operations rather than someone looking to move quickly into a broader HR Business Partner position.
A start date of Mid September is preferable. Last week of September if necessary.
The Role
- Coordinate employee lifecycle administration, including onboarding, inductions, offboarding and exit processes
- Manage day-to-day HR administration and the HR inbox, ensuring queries are handled or directed to the appropriate member of the team
- Maintain accurate employee records within the HR system
- Produce regular and ad hoc employee data and reports
- Prepare employment contracts, offer letters and other HR documentation
- Process routine employee changes including job title, salary, transfer and contractual amendments
- Administer maternity, paternity and other statutory and company leave
- Coordinate immigration and visa administration, working with employees and external advisers
- Support the preparation and checking of monthly payroll instructions
- Maintain HR files, records and documentation to a consistently high standard
- Support the administration of annual compensation processes, including checking employee documentation against payroll inputs
- Provide administrative support with recruitment where required
- Provide general administrative support to the HR team
- Work closely with colleagues to ensure day-to-day HR activities are completed accurately and on time
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.
