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.
As an apprentice at Magna, you can expect to be supported every step of the way. You will gain real experience, build your confidence, and develop practical skills while working towards a recognised qualification. You will be part of a friendly, collaborative team where learning is encouraged, your contribution is valued, and the work you do helps make a difference for our customers and communities.
You will gradually take care of key purchase ledger tasks, including:
- Processing invoices accurately
- Matching them to purchase orders
- Making sure supplier payments are raised and processed correctly
- Helping ensure suppliers are paid in line with their agreed terms
You will learn to support the smooth running of our finance processes by helping to resolve invoice and purchase order queries, following agreed procedures, keeping information accurate and up to date, and building your confidence in handling financial administration with care and attention to detail.
Magna will help you develop your understanding of wider finance activity by supporting tasks such as monthly accruals and prepayments, cash and bank reconciliations, and other routine finance processes, giving you hands-on experience while you work towards becoming confident in the role.
What you need to be successful:
You will bring curiosity, confidence, and a genuine interest in finance, along with good digital skills and the ability to use Microsoft 365 and Excel. An AAT Level 2 qualification and some understanding of double-entry bookkeeping would be great, but what matters most is your willingness to learn and grow.
