Our next Food Alert Academy intake is now LIVE!
📍 Where we’re recruiting
We are recruiting specifically within the following areas:
- Croydon
- Southwest London (SW & TW postcodes only)
- Southampton
- Reading
- Guildford
- Thetford / Norwich
- St Albans / Hertfordshire
- Coventry
- Nottingham
Before you apply – please read this bit!
There are a couple of non-negotiables for this intake:
- You must hold a full UK driving licence and have access to a car to drive for the role. This is a field-based consultancy position involving regular travel between client sites.
- You must already live within the specific patch you are applying for. (And we do mean live there now – not “happy to travel to it”, “planning to relocate” or “it's only an hour away”. Our Consultants spend their working days travelling between customers within their patch. Starting and finishing outside it adds significant unnecessary travel and simply doesn't work for the role.) If you don't currently live within one of the locations/postcode areas above, we will not be progressing your application for this intake. Please don't apply for the nearest location hoping we can flex it – we can't.
- You must also already hold a Level 3 Food Safety qualification.
Face to face final interview dates:
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.
