There’s more to being a Fitter than simply putting up curtains and blinds - it’s about creating spaces our customers love to live in. If you enjoy solving problems, working independently, and making people smile, this could be the perfect role for you. You’ll be the friendly face our customers remember.
Whether you’ve worked in retail, hospitality, or customer service, your people skills will shine here just as much as your knack for “getting things done.” If you’re hands-on, personable, and love making a difference, we’ll support you every step of the way with the more practical aspects to the role. You’ll be out and about, visiting customers in their homes to help turn their ideas into reality and be part of those “wow” moments when everything comes together. It’s a role where you get to make someone’s day (and their window!) amazing.
If you’ve ever hung a picture straight or tackled a flat-pack without tears, you’re already on the right track. But if tools aren’t your thing (yet), don’t worry! We’ll teach you everything you need to know. You don’t need to have a trade background to thrive in this role. We welcome people from all walks of life, especially those who’ve built strong people skills and want to learn something new.
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.
