If you’re an experienced Apprenticeship BDM who can win new levy business but would also quite like to join a provider where you’re not starting with a completely blank piece of paper, this could be a really good move.
You’ll be joining an established national training provider with over 22 years’ experience, 500+ employees and a strong reputation for quality, rated Ofsted Good with Outstanding judgements in Adult Learning and Behaviours & Attitudes.
They’ve already built relationships with some major national levy-paying employers, including household-name retailers such as B&Q, Iceland and Matalan, giving you a good indication of the calibre of employer partnerships they’re already successfully delivering.
The Opportunity
This is a business development role, so you’ll need to be comfortable generating your own opportunities, prospecting into new levy-paying employers and winning new business. You won’t be starting with a completely blank desk, though. You’ll inherit some existing business and employer relationships, particularly within retail, giving you a foundation to build from while you develop and grow the desk through your own new business activity.
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.
There’s a broad apprenticeship portfolio to take to market across retail, customer service, business, sport and leisure, with a particularly strong retail offering including Buying & Merchandising programmes.
You’ll also have established internal delivery and onboarding teams behind you, allowing you to focus on developing employer relationships and generating starts.
What can you earn?
Your basic salary will be £38,000–£43,000 + £3,000 car allowance, giving you a guaranteed package of £41,000–£46,000 before commission.
Your target will be around 8–12 apprenticeship starts per month, with:
- 100% of target: around £6,000 additional annual earnings
- 110%: around £9,000 additional
- 150%: around £18,000 additional
Plus a team performance incentive, with the opportunity to double your commission if the whole team achieves 110% of target

So for someone who consistently performs above target, there’s genuine scope to push your earnings significantly beyond the basic package.
What we’re looking for
You’ll need:
- At least 2 years’ experience selling apprenticeships to employers within a training provider or college
- A strong track record in new business apprenticeship sales, including building employer relationships from cold
- Experience working with levy-paying organisations and a strong understanding of the Apprenticeship Levy
- A consultative approach to understanding employer workforce needs and matching them with the right apprenticeship solutions
- The self-motivation to manage your own pipeline and deliver against apprenticeship start targets in a remote role
If you’re already successful in apprenticeship sales but want a role where you have a strong provider behind you, some existing business to build on, a broad portfolio to sell and genuine earning potential for overperformance, we'd love to speak to you.
