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.
The Reading team has a particularly strong client base in the technology and education sectors, with opportunities to advise well-known employers and independent schools on a range of employment issues.
About You
We are keen to speak with lawyers who have:
- 5+ years' PQE in Employment.
- Strong contentious and non-contentious experience.
- A proven track record advising employers and senior executives.
- Experience handling Employment Tribunal matters.
- Strong client management and communication skills.
- A commercial and pragmatic approach to employment advice.
- Demonstrable business development experience and an appetite to build their own profile.
Experience advising clients in the education sector, particularly independent schools and matters involving parent complaints, disputes, regulatory issues and SEND Tribunal proceedings, would be advantageous.
