Customer Engagement Assistant
Let's be upfront with you: this isn't the highest-paying job you'll ever have. But it could be the one that has the biggest impact on your career.
Every day, millions of people rely on Stagecoach to get where they need to go. When they have a question, a problem, or just need someone to actually listen, you're that person. Working across calls, webchat, email, SMS, and social media, you'll be the voice (and the typing fingers) of one of the UK's biggest transport businesses.
No two days are the same. One minute you're resolving a tricky complaint with empathy and a bit of creative thinking; the next you're spotting a pattern in your calls that quietly improves things for thousands of future customers. You'll work closely with our regional operational teams, and over time you'll feel less like a contact centre agent and more like someone who genuinely runs things.
What we need from you
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

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.
- Excellent communication skills, written and verbal, across every channel
- Confidence with IT systems and the ability to pick things up quickly
- Strong literacy and numeracy; you'll be interpreting information and making judgement calls daily
- Previous experience in a customer-facing role (a shop, a café, a helpline, it all counts; contact centre experience is a bonus but not essential)
- The ability to stay calm, empathetic, and solutions-focused when things get difficult
You'll thrive here if you...
- Genuinely like helping people, not just ticking a box and moving on
- Take ownership rather than looking for the nearest exit
- Treat every customer as an individual, not a ticket number
- Are equally comfortable on the phone or behind a keyboard
What you'll gain
- Omni-channel contact centre skills that are genuinely in demand
- Confidence handling complex, real-world conversations
- Experience working with enterprise-level systems and processes
- Visibility across a national brand, and a network to match
- A team around you, not just a job title
- A CV that opens doors well beyond this role
