Are you looking for legal work that genuinely makes an impact?
We're recruiting 10 Advisory Lawyers to join Home Office Legal Advisers (HOLA), a team working on some of the most high-profile, challenging and important issues facing the UK today. This is an opportunity to advise on matters that regularly make headlines, reach Parliament and shape government policy. From immigration and border security to national security, crime, policing, AI, online harms and modern slavery, you'll help tackle issues that affect millions of people across the country.
No two days are the same. One day you could be helping develop legislation, the next advising on a complex legal challenge or supporting Ministers and senior officials on a fast-moving issue.
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.
