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.

- supporting media relations, including responding to enquiries and writing press releases;
- contributing to the planning, delivery and evaluation of integrated communications and PR campaigns; and
- sharing stories that highlight how Wheatley is transforming communities and changing lives.
You’ll also be part of a rota providing a 24/7 on-call media service.
You’ll bring:
- excellent writing, filming and editing skills, with a strong eye for detail;
