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.
The successful candidate will have experience of working in an administrative role with an emphasis on cross-cultural communications. They should have excellent interpersonal skills, be able to work on their own initiative and to prioritise tasks. The person must be willing to work flexibly as the role will require occasional weekend or evening work.
This is part-time (0.4FTE), fixed term role to 31 July 2027.
