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.
You will need to have a flexible approach to working hours, as depending on the events at the venue, you will be required to work hours which include daytimes, evenings, weekends, and bank holidays.

However, due to licensing regulations and the requirement for staff to work independently within the bar, the majority of our vacancies are only available to applicants aged 18 or over.
