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.
If you offer another beauty, wellness, or body ritual service that isn't listed here, we would still love to hear from you!
How Our Practitioner Partnership Works
We love supporting independent creators and practitioners with fair, empowering, and easy working setups. Here is how our pop-up collaboration works for you:
- Keep 100% of What You Make: Every single penny you earn from your treatments on the day is yours to keep.
- Direct Payments Made Easy: You set up your own preferred payment method from your station and take payments directly from happy clients.
- Pre-Booked Time Slots: When guests grab their event admission ticket online, they can reserve their specific treatment time slots with you in advance, giving you a full, organized schedule before you even walk through the door.
- A Gorgeous Setup Provided: We take care of venue hire, curated music, soft lighting, botanical decor, marketing, and modular privacy screens to keep your station feeling cozy and protected.
- Small Event Contribution: To help us cover foundational venue and decor costs while keeping entry ticket prices low and accessible for everyone, we ask each featured practitioner for a small donation (around £15 to £20) toward the event setup.
