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.
This is a highly collaborative role requiring close working across internal teams and with external stakeholders, alongside opportunities for travel within the UK.
About you
The successful candidate will demonstrate:
- Excellent communication skills, with confidence delivering presentations and engaging diverse audiences
- Strong organisational and planning skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and events
- High levels of digital literacy, including Microsoft Office and database systems
- Customer-focused approach, with the ability to respond effectively to enquiries
- Teamworking and collaboration, working across departments and with external partners
- Flexibility and initiative, including willingness to travel and support events outside normal hours
