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.
You will also learn and be involved in aspects of sports turf management and assist in the set up and delivery of our extensive sports program which involves some Saturday work (approx. 8 Saturdays per year) taking Monday in lieu.
You should enjoy working as part of a team and in ensuring the sports facilities and School grounds are maintained to the very best standards at all times. You will be self-motivated with a keen interest in sport and a passion to develop yourself within the industry as well as develop the grounds and outdoor spaces across the Trust.
