Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar

About You
We're looking for someone who is creative, organised, and passionate about engaging audiences through digital storytelling. You'll be confident generating ideas, producing content independently, and collaborating with colleagues and volunteers to deliver high-quality communications.
You Will Bring
- Experience of creating digital content, social media content, blogs, video, or similar communications
- Strong skills in content creation tools such as Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, PowerPoint, or equivalent platforms
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
