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.
What the role involves:
Although this is primarily a teaching role, you’ll also support the wider day-to-day running of our centre. This may include helping with daily routines, interacting with visitors, supporting animal encounters and experiences, and delivering activities during school holidays.
It’s a varied role where no two days are quite the same — ideal for someone who enjoys being active, creative, and working in a unique outdoor environment.
The details
- Part-time: 3–4 days per week
- Start date: October 2026
- Closing date: 25 September 2026
