We’re looking for an experienced Senior HR Advisor to join a professional services organisation in Southampton on a 12-month fixed-term contract covering maternity leave. This is a varied, hands-on HR opportunity where you’ll take ownership of complex employee relations matters, provide trusted advice to managers and employees, and use your employment law expertise to support effective people decisions.

You’ll be an experienced HR professional who is confident managing complex and sensitive ER matters from start to finish. A background within legal or professional services is essential, alongside strong, up-to-date knowledge of UK employment law.
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.

- Strong experience managing disciplinary, grievance, performance, capability and absence cases
- Excellent knowledge of UK employment legislation and HR best practice
- Experience reviewing, drafting and implementing HR policies
- Strong communication, influencing and stakeholder management skills
- The ability to manage competing priorities and work effectively to deadlines
- Experience designing and delivering HR training
- Experience within professional services or legal sectors
What you’ll do
You’ll act as a key point of expertise for employment law and employee relations, providing practical and commercially focused HR advice across the organisation.
You’ll lead complex ER cases covering disciplinary, grievance, performance management, sickness absence, flexible working and capability, while maintaining accurate case records and ensuring matters progress effectively.
