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.
Who we are looking for...
We're interested in candidates with at least two years' experience handling employment tribunal litigation and managing their own caseload. You'll have a strong understanding of Employment Tribunal procedures, excellent communication skills, and the ability to assess claims, provide clear advice, and achieve positive outcomes for clients.
This opportunity would suit a qualified Solicitor who combines technical expertise with a genuine commitment to client care. You'll be joining a collaborative and supportive team that values empathy, professionalism and high-quality legal representation.
