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.
Why join us?
You will become an important part of a supportive team and have the opportunity to make a real contribution to the experience of our local community. No two days will necessarily be the same, and you will have the opportunity to work across our Trust venues while building positive relationships with a wide range of people.
We are looking for someone who is customer-focused, organised, approachable and proactive, with a genuine commitment to providing a high-quality service. You should be confident working independently, while also being able to work constructively as part of a team.
If you are someone who takes responsibility, has a positive ‘can-do’ attitude, communicates well and enjoys helping others, we would love to hear from you.
