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.
What you'll be doing
This role isn't just checking and sorting books. You'll be an essential support to customers of our libraries and learning resources providing practical help and guidance. You'll be the go-to person for face-to-face, telephone and online enquiries and assistance.
Supporting customers to get online or how to use software one minute and then identifying and referring specialist enquiries the next. No two days will be the same as you'll work on a rota basis, completing a variety of tasks.
What you'll bring
You'll bring your excellent customer service skills and ability to work effectively with a wide range of people. If you've got confidence in using IT systems and experience of supporting customers in a busy service environment, then we'd love to hear from you.
For more details, please take a look at the role profile. We'll still consider applications even if you don't meet every single one of the requirements, so don't be put off if you don't match them perfectly.
