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.
The firm promotes from within, values cross-team collaboration and has built a diverse, multilingual and inclusive working environment. The Manchester office is already active across property, litigation, corporate and private client work, providing a ready-made referral network and platform for a dedicated immigration practice.
The Role
You will establish and lead the immigration practice in Manchester. This is a strategic growth role, not a backfill. You will build your own client following while drawing on existing referral relationships from the firm's corporate, employment and private client teams, all of which regularly encounter immigration needs among their clients.
You will advise across the full spectrum of business immigration matters including sponsor licences, skilled worker visas, intra-company transfers, compliance and appeals, with scope to develop private immigration work where it aligns with your expertise and the wider firm's capabilities.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You will lead business development across the North West, recruit and develop a team over time and work closely with the London immigration team on shared clients and cross-referrals, with competitive remuneration structured to reward growth and contribution.
The Ideal Candidate
Experienced Immigration Solicitor with sufficient PQE and profile to step into a partnership role, or an established Partner seeking a platform with greater autonomy and growth potential in the North West
