Our apprenticeship programme gives you hands-on experience while you learn — working alongside a supportive team and gaining practical skills across all areas of the branch.

Responsibilities

As a Branch Apprentice, you'll get involved in a wide range of tasks, including:

  • Face-to-face customer service and support at the Trade Counter
  • Helping with the distribution of building materials to customers and delivery vehicles
  • Supporting stock control and warehouse tasks
  • Assisting with goods in/out and keeping the yard clean and organised
  • Helping to raise quotes and process orders
  • Learning how to safely operate tools and machinery (including forklifts)
  • Supporting with office admin and answering incoming calls
  • Shadowing team members to understand how each part of the branch contributes

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.
