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.
This is a pivotal moment for NALC. Devolution, local government reorganisation and the growing role of communities offer a powerful opportunity to move decision-making closer to local people. As chief executive, you will lead NALC into its next chapter: shaping and delivering an ambitious strategy, extending our influence and reach, and strengthening our partnership with 43 county associations.
