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.
This is far more than diary management. You’ll play a pivotal role in helping shape the effectiveness of our Senior Leadership Team, supporting Board governance, coordinating high-profile meetings and ensuring the organisation runs smoothly behind the scenes. You’ll manage complex priorities, be involved in adhoc project work and anticipate what needs to happen before others do.
As well as providing executive support at the highest level, you’ll have line management responsibility for a Business Support Administrator who will report directly to you. You’ll oversee their day-to-day workload, provide coaching and support, ensure high standards of administrative delivery and continuously develop efficient ways of working to support the wider organisation.
