Are you interested in joining a new kind of ecology consultancy - one founded on expertise, driven by purpose and built for success?

We are recruiting Assistant Ecologists to join our existing teams in Leeds and Stroud (Cotswolds).

We’re looking for individuals who are enthusiastic, proactive, and eager to learn and develop their career as professional ecological consultants.

You should have a relevant degree (or equivalent) in ecology, environmental science, or a related field; QGIS, data analysis or mapping skills; good communication and organisational skills; and a basic knowledge of UK habitats and protected species.

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.

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.

In return we offer a supportive, dynamic and friendly team environment; training and mentoring from experienced ecologists; and a focus on quality, integrity, and professionalism.

We work on a hybrid basis and offer a competitive package, with a salary of £27,000, plus bonus & profit share schemes, and a range of benefits including a health care plan and generous annual leave.
