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.
Being a Funeral Service Operative can be challenging and rewarding, and no two days are quite the same.
Your duties will include:
- Driving company vehicles, so you'll need a full UK manual driving licence.
- Being on the out of hours, and on-call rota, which will provide an opportunity to earn additional payments.
Please note: The hourly rate will increase to £13.00 per hour in July 2026.
