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.
Working closely with the Director of Finance and Operations, Regional COO and senior leadership, the postholder will lead a focused programme of financial transformation: strengthening controls and processes, updating budgeting, forecasting and management information tools, and ensuring that improvements are sustainable and fully adopted across the school.
This is a senior, hands-on role for a fully qualified accountant with significant experience of leading finance transformation or improvement within a complex organisation. The successful candidate will combine strong technical financial expertise with excellent judgement, the ability to build relationships quickly and the confidence to challenge and improve established ways of working.
