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.
As our kitchen garden is open to our guests, you must be confident to interact with them daily. We also are home to pigs, chickens and quails so some animal husbandry will be required.
Experience of working in a productive kitchen garden growing seasonal produce is preferred but not essential. Full training and support will be provided, however a real passion for gardening is required.
