Flexible Working
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis (e.g. job share), despite the position being advertised as full-time. Minimum of 4 days per week.
Looking for a role where you’re at the heart of operations and make a real impact every day? This is your opportunity to join a dynamic Estates team as a Business Support Coordinator, where no two days are the same.
You’ll play a key role in keeping things running smoothly across multiple sections—coordinating meetings, supporting senior managers, managing financial processes and handling sensitive HR activities with professionalism and care. From minuting key meetings, running recruitment to organising induction programmes and supporting cross-department projects, your work will directly contribute to an efficient, high-performing service.
This is more than an admin role—it’s a chance to be a trusted partner, a problem solver, and a go-to person within a collaborative and supportive environment
About You
You’re highly organised, proactive, and thrive in a busy environment where priorities can shift quickly. You bring:
- Solid experience in a business support or administrative role
- Strong organisational skills with excellent attention to detail
- Confidence using IT systems (including finance systems such as SAP or similar)
- The ability to manage multiple tasks, meet deadlines, and stay calm under pressure
- Excellent communication skills and a customer-focused mindset
- Discretion and professionalism when handling confidential information
You’re equally comfortable working independently or as part of a team—and you enjoy making things happen behind the scenes.
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.
