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.
We are looking for a real team player, who is self-motivated, bright, adaptable and able to deliver within tight deadlines. Current/recent experience in preparing documentary evidence and witness statements, preferably in the context of Employment Tribunal litigation, is essential. You will be supporting Employment Lawyers acting for several Councils in relation to a wide range of employment issues and related litigation. Whilst we offer a friendly and supportive work environment, you will need to be able to hit the ground running.
SLLP’s Vision & Values include a commitment to improving services through the development of our staff in an inclusive and supportive environment. We aim to attract and retain a workforce which reflects the diverse communities we serve.
