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.
We’re looking for someone who is reliable, organised and happy to get stuck in. You’ll need to work well as part of a team and be comfortable working in a busy environment.
Previous catering experience would be helpful, but a positive attitude, reliability and willingness to learn are just as important.
Training and support
We’ll make sure you have the training you need to carry out the role safely and confidently. As part of your induction, you will complete a Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate and Health and Safety Induction, alongside any other training relevant to the role.
If you’re looking for a rewarding catering role where the work you do each day makes a genuine contribution to school life, we’d love to hear from you.
