Are you a highly organised and proactive professional with the skills to support senior leaders and make a real contribution at the heart of an ambitious organisation?
This is a varied and trusted role, working closely with our Chief Executive, Directors and Governance Manager.

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.

You'll also support a range of governance activities, including internal audit, risk management and data protection, while maintaining accurate and secure records and identifying opportunities to improve processes and digital ways of working.
You'll have access to highly sensitive and confidential information, so discretion, sound judgement and professionalism will be fundamental to everything you do.
About You
You'll be highly organised and proactive with the ability to thrive in a busy environment and stay one step ahead to keep competing priorities on track.
With proven experience supporting senior leaders, you'll be confident managing complex diaries, coordinating Board or senior-level meetings, preparing high-quality documents and minutes, and following actions through to completion.
You'll be an excellent communicator who builds strong relationships at all levels and handles sensitive information with discretion and sound judgement. Calm under pressure and with a sharp eye for detail, you'll be confident using Microsoft 365 and digital tools to work efficiently and improve how things are done.
You'll also need the flexibility to attend scheduled evening meetings when required.
