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 will be working as part of a high-performing team and will add additional expertise around the key areas. The role is paying £750 a day and is likely to be for six months initially but there may be scope to extend.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The successful candidate will have experience in schools funding from a local authority perspective and a history of resolving issues like those described above. They will also have experience of working with senior stakeholders on complex issues and providing clear and simple recommendations while working independently.
The role is hybrid but some office attendance will be required.
