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.
The Employment team sits within a broader integrated function spanning Employment, Pensions and Immigration comprising over 50 lawyers nationally, operating as one cohesive national team rather than separate regional silos, allowing expertise and workflow to be shared freely across offices.
The Role
You will join a nationally recognised Employment practice from the Manchester office, working alongside an established and high-performing group of partners across the full spectrum of Employment matters, spanning strategic HR advisory work, tribunal and High Court litigation, corporate support, outsourcing and large-scale projects.
The firm has sensible and considered expectations when it comes to business case. They are genuinely open to a conversation about how your existing client relationships, sector focus and areas of specialism can complement the wider team, rather than applying a rigid template to what you need to bring on day one. They understand the reality of lateral moves at senior level and are looking at the long-term picture rather than placing undue pressure on short-term results.

Employment workstreams have grown substantially at a national level, with significant legislative change expected in early 2027 creating further demand, and the team is well positioned as a strong mid-market Employment offering to capitalise on that opportunity.
