- Managing a mixed caseload of low-value injury (EL/PL) and property damage claims
- Investigating claims, reviewing policy coverage and making fair, informed decisions
- Working closely with policyholders, brokers and loss adjusters
- Building strong relationships and delivering excellent customer outcomes

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’ll bring:
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- A proactive, problem-solving mindset
- Organisation and attention to detail
- Confidence speaking with customers
- A genuine desire to learn and build a long-term career
If you join permanently, we’ll support you in studying towards your CII qualifications
