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.
BDTP aims to combine the best of private sector commercial approaches and customer focus but with a public service ethos. A new Chair is sought to take the Group into the next stage of its journey.
Whilst the BD Group companies cover a wide range of activity, it would be particularly desirable for the Chair to have knowledge and experience of the repairs and maintenance sector – due to the critical nature of the service. The Chair will be expected to take responsibility for leadership of the Board, ensure that the strategic direction of the company is identified and implemented and the Shareholder’s objectives delivered; ensure the appropriate governance procedures are established and maintained and develop the company’s external relationships in conjunction with the Chief Executive.
