Interior Design Internship
This is a learning-first placement for someone early in an interior design career. You will work alongside our design and operations team on real residential projects across our UK markets, with structured supervision throughout. It is hands-on from week one, but you are never expected to know it all — questions are welcome and expected.
How the Internship Works
The internship runs for three to six months, agreed with you at the outset. You are paired with a named supervisor, set clear objectives for each month, and have regular review conversations. At the end of the placement you receive an honest written reference reflecting the work you have done — whether or not a permanent opening exists at the time.
What You Will Learn
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.
