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.
A Typical Day Could Include
- Catching up with the Project Coordinator, either in person or online
- Working with colleagues to plan and deliver mapping 'lessons' in schools
- Showing young people how to use mapping software and environmental monitoring kits
- Collecting feedback on the mapping process and feeding the data back to the project team in line with project procedures
- Supporting children to become community scientists with a passion for the future of the area
- Working within schools to explain to children, young people and their families how they can effect change in their own community.
Flexibility, excellent communication skills, and a desire to work with the community will ensure that this role is enjoyable and fulfilling. The role would particularly suit those with experience in classrooms.
The post-holders will be working with children and young people and so an enhanced DBS check will be completed as part of the induction process and must be obtained.
