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 looking for someone with experience of working with community organisations, voluntary groups or partnership projects. You will need excellent communication and organisational skills, the ability to coordinate projects and events, and the confidence to work independently as well as part of a team.
The successful applicant must be able to work flexibly, including occasional evenings and weekends when required.
Experience of local government or the voluntary sector would be helpful, as would knowledge of grant funding, event risk assessments and data protection requirements.
