Job Opportunity for Travel Professionals
Please Note: This opportunity is open to residents of the UK.
Worked in Travel previously now keen to return, or have worked in Travel for many years but not within Travel Sales – we have this covered from our Return to Travel or Travel Trade Programmes.
About the Role
As a Travel Counsellor, you’ll run your own home-based travel agency. With that comes the freedom to focus on providing best-in-class service, free from the commute, the targets and the vertical selling that can make other travel sales jobs restrictive.
This opportunity is a full commitment to being self-employed and is commission only (it isn’t a salaried role).
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.
