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.
This role offers the opportunity to:
- Work collaboratively with colleagues across multiple sites.
- Contribute to Trust-wide HR initiatives and continuous improvement projects.
- Grow as a HR generalist.
You will be encouraged to develop your knowledge of HR best practice and employment law, with support for professional development and possible CIPD study if not yet qualified.
This role is office-based on average 3 days per week during term time (scope for additional working from home during school holidays) and based primarily at the Head HR Office in Cambridge with regular travel to schools within the Trust.
