About the Role:
We’re looking for an experienced Senior People Advisor to join National Learning Group and play a key role in our growing People function.
This isn’t a role where you’ll spend your day passing queries upwards or waiting to be given a task list. We’re looking for a proactive HR professional who can take ownership, use their judgement and get things done, while recognising when it's appropriate to escalate.
Working alongside our Head of People, and supported by two Coordinators, you’ll be the go-to person for day-to-day People matters across the business, independently advising managers and handling a varied HR workload from issue through to resolution.
What you’ll be doing:
- Taking the lead on employee relations cases including absence, performance, capability, conduct, and grievances
- Providing confident, practical advice to managers
- Owning key People processes across the employee lifecycle
- Supporting recruitment and overseeing safer recruitment and compliance
- Improving People processes rather than simply administering them
- Supporting delivery of People projects and contributing to wider engagement, wellbeing, and performance initiatives
- Spotting issues early and bringing solutions without waiting to be asked
- Maintaining employee data and reporting key metrics
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.
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.
What we’re looking for:
- Solid generalist HR experience
- Comfortable managing your own ER cases and advising managers independently
- Good UK employment law knowledge
- Strong judgement and the confidence to challenge when needed
- Proactive and self-starting
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and finding solutions when there isn’t already a process telling them exactly what to do
- CIPD Level 5 is desirable, but we’re equally interested in strong practical experience and what you can actually bring to the team
