Workforce Planning Manager
We're looking for a Workforce Planning Manager for a public sector organisation, based in Wiltshire (hybrid), on an initial 6-month contract, paying up to £620 per day (Inside IR35, Umbrella).
There's an expectation to attend the office in Wiltshire around 3 days a week.
About the Role
The successful Workforce Planning Lead will own the development, maintenance and annual publication of the organisation's Strategic Workforce Plan. You'll build supply and demand forecasts, run scenario planning and workforce modelling, and lead the people analytics capability that turns workforce data into evidence-based recommendations. You'll also coordinate workforce governance forums and present clear recommendations to Executive-level stakeholders.
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.
