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.
For security purposes you will also need to:
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Understand and implement safety procedures including evacuation
- Maintain a level of visitor supervision in the garden.
We will work with existing volunteers to understand how much time you have been giving and what is needed now.
You will mainly be based at Rievaulx Terrace, Helmsley, however as we build the volunteer programme there will also be opportunities to work with the gardens team at Rievaulx Abbey.
