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.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing the Headteacher’s diary, correspondence, appointments and meeting commitments
- Preparing professional correspondence, briefing notes, agendas, minutes and presentations
- Coordinating SLT actions, deadlines, projects and operational priorities
- Maintaining the whole-school calendar
- Supporting recruitment, admissions, reports, parents’ evenings and formal school processes
- Organising significant events, including the school’s annual Prize Evening
- Communicating professionally with staff, families, governors, the Trust and external partners

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We are looking for someone with strong administrative, executive, project or operational support experience. You will need excellent judgement, discretion and attention to detail, together with the confidence to manage competing priorities, anticipate potential issues and identify practical solutions.
Experience within education is desirable but not essential. What matters most is your ability to provide calm, professional and proactive support in a busy and confidential environment.
This is an excellent opportunity to become a central member of our school community and make a genuine contribution to the effective delivery of our leadership and operational priorities.
