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 Opportunity
This is more than a conventional fee-earning role. You will join an established team with an existing client base and experienced colleagues, but will have the opportunity to:
- Take ownership of the department's day-to-day work
- Develop and mentor colleagues
- Improve systems, processes and workflows
- Influence future team structure and recruitment
- Help shape the longer-term growth of the practice
- Progress towards departmental leadership / Head of Court of Protection
The firm is looking for someone who can build on what already works, rather than simply impose change.
About You
You will have strong and recent Property & Financial Affairs deputyship experience, together with sound knowledge of the Mental Capacity Act, Court of Protection framework and OPG requirements.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll also bring excellent client care, organisation and communication skills and ideally experience supporting clients with acquired brain injuries or other complex needs.
Most importantly, you'll be empathetic, collaborative, commercially aware and comfortable with autonomy and responsibility.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
- An established practice
- An existing client base
- Genuine autonomy
- A credible route into leadership.
If you're looking for a role where your judgement genuinely counts and you can help shape the future of a Court of Protection team, I'd be very interested in speaking with you confidentially.
