Receptionist, Whitbarrow Village

£13.25 an hour | Full time, 40 hours a week | Permanent | Near Penrith, on the edge of the Lake District

The job

You're the face of Whitbarrow Village, a lodge resort with pools, spa facilities and on-site dining. You'll welcome guests on arrival, look after them through their stay, handle the phones and emails, and sort problems out when they come up. Busy on changeover days, steady in between, never dull.

Straight shifts only, no splits. All shifts fall between 8am and 8pm (e.g. 8am till 4:30pm and 11:30am till 8pm), five days over seven, with weekends on a fair rota. You'll always know your shifts well in advance (rotas are normally posted 2 weeks in advance)

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.
