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.
Hours
This role would be 40 hours per week, covering 5 out of 7 days on a rota basis, to include evenings, weekends and bank holidays. We will also consider a condensed working week over 4 days. Assuming there are no events scheduled, you will rarely work over the Christmas period and at quieter times throughout the year there will be occasions where you are not required to work the weekend.
