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 are seeking an exceptional and dynamic leader, who is forward-looking and shares our commitment to improving outcomes for young people. We welcome applications from people with a diverse range of backgrounds, industries and experiences.
The Chair will be appointed for an initial term of three years, with the possibility of re-appointment in line with Young Scot’s governing documents.
