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 collaboratively with the wider Service Desk, you will help maintain quality and performance standards, contributing to a responsive, efficient, and customer-focused IT service that supports the organisation’s ongoing operations and objectives.
As an IT Service Desk Graduate you will...
- Provide first-line IT support as part of the IT Service Desk, delivering a customer-focused service in line with ITSM best practices.
- Log, manage, and progress incidents and service requests accurately within the ITSM tool, taking ownership through agreed ITIL processes and working towards SLA targets.
- Contribute to team performance and quality standards, ensuring support is available during operational hours and escalating issues appropriately.
- Maintain and update the IT knowledgebase, producing clear technical documentation and user-friendly support guides.
- Work collaboratively with the wider IT team and Service Desk Manager, supporting service improvements, customer feedback initiatives, and day-to-day IT operations while adhering to all IT and company policies.
About You...
You’ll be a graduate or soon-to-be graduate with a Bachelor’s degree (or expected degree) in IT, Computer Science, or a related subject, and most importantly - a clear enthusiasm for building a career in IT support. Any exposure to IT support through internships, placements, part-time or voluntary roles is beneficial, but not essential; a genuine passion for technology and learning will be equally valued.
