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.
This role is hybrid. Successful candidates will be able to work flexibly and remotely and will be expected to spend at least 60% of their contracted hours working on campus. Flexibility will be required should the business need require a greater on-site presence.
About You
You are a motivated professional whose career so far might include some administrative work experience which allows you to use your own initiative, as well as manage your own time effectively with minimal supervision, or be looking for an opportunity to take the first step in your career post-study. You will be adaptable, flexible, proactive and a strong team player who is culturally sensitive. You will have strong interpersonal skills and a positive and enthusiastic approach. You will be able to build strong relationships with internal and external organisations and groups and be able to liaise confidently with your stakeholders. You will have excellent organisational skills with the ability to prioritise and meet deadlines. You will have strong IT skills, particularly in the use of Microsoft Office and similar software.
