About the Role
We are looking for a Web Accessibility Specialist to support our ADA-focused program of work for an initial four month contract.

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.
Required Experience and Skills
- Experience working directly with WCAG audits, accessibility testing, or audit remediation.
- Strong working knowledge of WCAG 2.1 and/or WCAG 2.2, including how success criteria apply to real products.
- Familiarity with semantic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ARIA, forms and common interaction patterns.
- Demonstrable experience validating accessibility fixes and explaining whether they work for users.
- Confident use of NVDA for testing websites and web applications.
- Strong understanding of how disabled people use the web, including barriers experienced by people using screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, voice control and other assistive technologies.
- Experience carrying out manual accessibility testing, supported by tools such as axe, WAVE, or browser accessibility inspectors.
- Ability to document findings clearly and consistently so that product teams can act on them.
- Ability to work independently, manage agreed testing tasks, and raise risks or blockers promptly.
- Clear and constructive communication with designers, developers, testers, and product managers.
