Contract Type: Permanent, Part-time
Hours: Saturday and Sunday, 24 hours
Salary: £20,500.04

We are currently recruiting for a Customer Services Team Leader to join our team in Milton Keynes. This is a key leadership role within a fast-paced, customer-focused environment, supporting the delivery of essential services.

About the Role

You will lead and motivate a team of Customer Service Agents, ensuring they provide high-quality support on matters such as repairs, rents, tenancies, antisocial behaviour and transport.

Many of our customers are vulnerable, so compassion, empathy and resilience are essential. You will help foster a first-time fix culture, prioritising quality interactions over rigid call metrics, and ensure your team operates in line with service level agreements, policies and procedures.

You will receive ongoing support through coaching, one-to-ones and development opportunities, while also playing a key role in shaping a positive, people-first workplace culture.

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.
