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 Candidate
The successful candidate will be a qualified Employment Solicitor with a minimum of 6 years' PQE or equivalent experience. You will have solid experience in employment law and be confident managing your own caseload and dealing directly with clients. Strong communication skills and the ability to build effective relationships with people at all levels are essential, alongside a genuine commitment to providing excellent client care.
Experience gained within a leading firm would be advantageous, although this is not essential. The successful candidate will be professional, personable, and commercially aware, with the ability to work collaboratively while managing their own workload.
The Firm
This opportunity is with a well established, full service law firm with a long history of representing working people, individuals, families, trade unions, and professional associations.
The firm has a strong reputation for its client focused approach and is recognised in the Legal 500 for its personal injury and clinical negligence work. With a hands on senior team and a collaborative culture, the firm places genuine emphasis on providing a high quality service while supporting the development of its people.
