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.
A positive and enthusiastic disposition is necessary as is the desire to handle and resolve customer enquiries in a constructive manner that ensures customer satisfaction. Previous contact centre/customer service experience would be advantageous, although full training will be given.
We invite applications from those candidates who are seeking a full-time (37 hours per week) position.
To increase your chances of being shortlisted, do not rely on the use of AI in your application – we want to hear from you about your unique experiences and how you can help us deliver an exceptional development offer for our people.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
