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.
As part of the team, you may direct the Take Part Officer’s involvement in certain projects and oversee project managers supporting our work with older people.
Ideal Candidates
We are seeking an individual with:
- Strong professional experience in community arts and social impact work
- A passion for the arts and driving positive societal change
Working Arrangements
Flexibility is key—this is a hybrid role, requiring a commitment of 21–35 hours per week. Due to the nature of events, some evenings and weekends may be needed.
