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.
You’ll need to be customer focussed as you’ll act as a point of contact ensuring there is good communication with all teams and departments, reporting any apparent breaches such as anti-social behaviour and abandoned vehicles. You’ll need strong communications skills and must be able to use a hand held computer device such as a smart phone/tablet.
Where you have not already achieved Level 2 English and Maths, you must do so before taking the end-point assessment.
For apprentices aged 19 or older, the government has made the requirement to achieve English and maths functional skills optional, effective February 11, 2025. This means employers and providers can now decide whether to include Functional Skills as part of the apprenticeship, this will be discussed with your prospective line manager prior to being offered employment.
Please note: Apprentices aged 16-18 still need to complete these qualifications, which will be completed alongside your apprenticeship.
