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 role combines strategic leadership with hands-on delivery. You will develop and lead a practical social impact and employability strategy, while taking ownership of initiatives currently delivered across multiple functions. Working closely with planning, development and communications colleagues, you will help shape and deliver against complex funding arrangements, engage with local authorities and key stakeholders, and act as a visible ambassador for the campus. From attending council meetings to developing programmes and partnerships, this is a role that requires both credibility at senior level and the ability to make things happen on the ground.
The successful candidate will bring experience of delivering community impact and socio-economic initiatives in complex, multi-stakeholder environments, alongside the confidence to operate at both strategic and operational levels. You will be a strong relationship builder, comfortable navigating ambiguity and influence, and motivated by the opportunity to create meaningful community impact. Backgrounds may vary, from development, local authority, consultancy or the social impact sector. You will however share a practical, delivery-focused mindset and the ability to bring clarity, energy and momentum to a broad and evolving brief.
