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 service is also working towards the digital transformation of our services where it is appropriate and beneficial to do so. Therefore, being able to embrace change and adopt new ways of working is essential. The roles also involve speaking to and communicating with external partners, wider services within the council, operational staff and our residents therefore effective communication skills, both spoken and in writing are essential. This includes an excellent telephone manner.
The posts are based in our Locality Offices and involve a range of administrative tasks supporting the delivery of services and the work is varied.
