Tired of chasing unachievable main-dealer targets, corporate micromanagement, and tricky pay schemes? Step into a premier, RAC-approved independent specialist workshop in Poole offering a massive, guaranteed basic salary that actually reflects your master-level expertise!
About Us
With over 30 years of local success, we are an RAC-approved independent specialist specialising in low-mileage 4x4s and prestige commercial vehicles. We move completely away from "smoke and mirrors" bonus schemes and high-pressure dealership environments, choosing instead to focus on RAC-standard excellence, bay autonomy, and proper respect for our craft. If you want a top-tier fixed income and a supportive, structured environment where you are treated like a true technical expert, this is the team for you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
