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'll also mentor and develop the team, ensure high standards, and help shape the future direction of the department.
What We're Looking For
- Qualified Solicitor (5+ years PQE)
- Strong experience in Residential, Commercial, and Agricultural Property
- Previous supervisory experience, or someone ready to step into a leadership role
- Excellent client care and communication skills
- Someone who enjoys working as part of a supportive, close-knit team
What's on Offer?
- Competitive salary (DOE)
- Full or Part-Time (0.8 considered)
- Hybrid working available
- No billing targets
- Discretionary annual bonus
- Professional development fully supported
- Genuine route to Directorship
- Loyal and established client base
- Work in one of the UK's most beautiful locations
