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.
You will support project and contract activity, coordinate meetings and diaries, maintain documentation, track actions and deadlines, and assist the team with procurement and contracting activities.
You will be proactive, have excellent attention to detail and be confident using Microsoft Office applications. Previous experience in administration, coordination, procurement, contract management or project support would be advantageous.

This is a predominantly home-based role, with attendance at County Hall in Taunton each Tuesday, additional attendance for team meetings as required, and occasional visits to other hospital sites. Hot desks are available at County Hall for those who prefer to work from an office more regularly.
If you are organised, motivated and keen to develop your career while supporting high value projects, we'd love to hear from you.
