We're looking for a supportive, approachable and confident Arrears Specialist to join our team. In this role, you'll be speaking with customers who are going through financial difficulties and helping them understand their options. Your aim is simple: make things clearer, take away some of the worry, and guide them towards a plan that genuinely works for them.
You'll handle inbound and outbound calls across our Recoveries and Assessments & Vulnerable Customers teams. Every conversation is different, but your focus is always on doing the right thing for the customer — and getting it right first time.
What You'll Be Doing
- Having honest, helpful conversations with customers across phone and email
- Making sure every customer receives a fair and positive outcome
- Spotting when someone is in financial difficulty and pointing them towards the right support
- Completing income & expenditure assessments to understand what they can realistically afford
- Agreeing sustainable payment plans
- Using the right tools and forbearance options to help customers get back on track
- Recognising when a customer is vulnerable and responding appropriately
- Handling complaints calmly and professionally
- Following our processes and staying compliant
- Working towards key performance measures such as quality, behaviours and reducing avoidable issues
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
