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.
The Role
- Managing a caseload of housing and ASB matters.
- Providing legal advice to internal housing teams.
- Handling ASB litigation, including injunctions and possession proceedings.
- Drafting pleadings, notices, statements, and other legal documentation.
- Advising on tenancy and landlord & tenant issues.
- Liaising with internal stakeholders, tenants, and external parties.
- Attending court when required – this is sporadic rather than a regular requirement.
