Founded by King Edward III in 1348, the College of St George is a Royal Peculiar and the spiritual home of the Most Noble Order of the Garter.

This is an exceptional opportunity to work at the centre of a unique organisation that combines centuries of tradition with the demands of a modern institution.
The Role
Working within the Chapter Office, you will provide comprehensive administrative, organisational and operational support to the Chapter Clerk.
The Chapter Office plays a central role in the governance and daily life of the College, coordinating major events, supporting governance processes and helping deliver significant royal, national, civic and ecclesiastical occasions.
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.

About You
We are looking for someone who can demonstrate:
- Exceptional organisational and administrative skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication abilities.
- A meticulous eye for detail and accuracy.
- The ability to work independently and manage a varied workload.
- Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Office applications.
- Professionalism, discretion and absolute confidentiality.
- The confidence to build positive relationships with stakeholders at all levels.
- Flexibility and a willingness to support occasional events outside normal office hours.
Experience supporting senior leaders, governance bodies, recruitment processes or event management would be advantageous, as would experience within a heritage, charitable, educational or ecclesiastical setting.
Whilst there is no requirement to be a practising Christian, applicants should have an appreciation of and respect for the religious, ceremonial and historic life of the College.
