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.
You will have:
- Strong IT skills, including a good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Word.
- Comfort in carrying out administrative and data-processing activities with a high degree of accuracy.
- Excellent attention to detail.
- The ability to consistently deliver quality work within a fast-paced production environment.
The successful candidate will be eager to learn and develop, with a desire to continuously expand their skills and contribute to the overall capability of the department. You will be adaptable, resilient, and able to respond positively to changing priorities and workloads. Strong communication skills are also important, enabling you to build effective relationships and work collaboratively with colleagues across all levels of the organisation.
In addition, you will hold a full, clean UK driving licence.
Most importantly, you will bring a flexible, customer-focused approach and a willingness to support a team that delivers vital print, fulfilment, purchasing, and distribution services across the business.
