- Providing gate line support

- Providing general customer service

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.
You will be provided with a list of events that are planned and notified of any new events. We expect you to commit to a minimum of 2 events a year, and will be notified 10 days before the event whether support is needed. You will receive an email sent to the pool of Event Assistants, and work will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. You must be a minimum age of 18 or over.
