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.
When writing your application, please refer to the essential and desirable criteria detailed in the job specification. Applicants will be considered for either of the roles depending on their experience and suitability.
Visits are welcomed on Thursday 15th October at 4pm or Monday 2nd November at 1.30pm. Please telephone the school office in advance on 01736 364087 or email our secretary at alverton@tpacademytrust.org if you would like to visit.
Alverton Primary School is committed to safeguarding children and young people, and the successful candidate will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS disclosure.
