Are you an experienced HR professional looking for a role where you can make a real impact? We're recruiting a Senior HR Adviser to join a busy and supportive HR team, providing expert advice and guidance to managers across a complex and diverse organisation.

Client Details

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys partnering with managers, navigating complex employee relations matters and supporting organisational change within a unionised environment. The role offers exposure to a broad range of HR activity, although a significant proportion of the workload will be focused on employee relations and case management.

The role requires 2 days onsite in Wolverhampton (Thursday is a mandatory day).

Description

As a Senior HR Adviser, you'll provide proactive HR support to managers and leaders, helping them navigate complex people issues whilst ensuring compliance with employment legislation, policies and procedures.

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.
