HR Coordinator

Birmingham City Centre (Parking onsite), salary up to £35,000

Our client is an international brand looking to build their HR team in Birmingham and this is a new and exciting opportunity as a result of this growth.

About the Role

Reporting to the HR Head you are helping build the HR function. You will join the UK HR team of an international business with an established presence across multiple countries, reporting to the HR Business Partner in Birmingham and working closely with a central HR team in Europe, at a genuinely exciting point as the UK operation grows.

The role is varied and busy, one day you will support with payroll coordination, the next you are running an induction for a new starter, sourcing candidates for an open role, or untangling an HR query.

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.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Responsibilities:

  • Own HR records and digital personnel files in the HR system
  • Manage recruitment end to end from job posting through onboarding
  • Track absence and lifecycle milestones
  • Be the first point of contact when managers and employees need HR support

The HR function is still taking shape, so there is real scope to spot inefficiencies and really add value.
