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.
Reporting to the Community Use Cluster Supervisor, you will undertake a frontline, customer-facing role. You will engage positively with customers and service users, responding to enquiries via telephone, email, and face-to-face interaction, while also operating booking systems and procedures.
As a Community Use Attendant, you will be required to work five days over seven which will include evenings and weekends in line with service demands. Opening shifts typically begin around 8:30am, with back shifts finishing as late as 10:30pm, so flexibility is essential. You will be responsible for maintaining high standards of cleanliness across designated areas, as well as setting up and clearing equipment and spaces to support a wide range of activities.
You will work in line with service guidelines, health and safety policies, and all relevant risk assessments and standard operating procedures. Responsibilities include completing regular building compliance checks such as fire safety, water quality, and asbestos monitoring.
You will also act as a nominated key holder, ensuring buildings are opened and secured at the appropriate times. This includes responsibility for internal, external, and outdoor areas, operation of alarm systems, and responding to out-of-hours activations where required. Lone working may occasionally be necessary.
A driving licence is not essential; however, you may be required to travel between Community Use facilities as part of your shift pattern, including providing cover at short notice. Some locations have limited public transport, so candidates should consider their ability to travel reliably, particularly for early morning or late evening shifts.
A link to the role profile is included below, providing further details about the position and the type of candidate we are seeking.
The Person
We are seeking an enthusiastic and self-motivated individual with the ability to work independently and as part of a wider team.
You will possess strong communication skills, be customer-focused, and demonstrate a consistent “can-do” attitude.
