Job Description
Want a soul-sucking call centre job?
Yeah, neither do we.
We’re not here to read scripts or tick boxes. We’re here to shake things up, to make energy better for our customers and the planet. That means real conversations, real problem-solving, and real impact.
💜 Your team? The best bunch of people you’ve ever worked with—curious, driven, and just as passionate about changing the industry as you are. No egos, no corporate nonsense—just a group of brilliant minds tackling challenges together.
⚡ It’s not always easy—but it’s worth it. We move fast. Things change. Just when you think you’ve nailed it—BOOM—something new to learn. But if you love a challenge and thrive in a fast-paced environment, we’ll have your back every step of the way.
What you'll do...
⚡ Making energy easy. Cutting through the jargon and helping customers understand their bills, meters, and tariffs without the headache.
💡 Solving problems like a pro. Whether it’s a billing query, a meter issue, or a complex energy conundrum - you’ll be on it, finding the best fix fast.
📞 End-to-end service. No endless transfers or passing the buck - you’ll handle queries from start to finish, including complaints, making sure customers get the right help the first time.
🧠 Thinking on your feet. No scripts, no robotic responses - just real conversations where you listen, understand, and deliver solutions that make sense.
❤️ Treat every customer with the care you’d give gran. We believe in warmth, kindness, and going the extra mile - because that’s what good service looks like.
🌍 Making a difference. Whether it’s helping someone struggling with their energy bills or advising on greener energy choices, you’ll have a real impact.

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.
