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
You’ll be the face of GreenThumb across your patch — visiting customers daily to:
- Apply treatments
- Diagnose lawn issues
- Spot wider opportunities in the garden
Key responsibilities include:
- Offering expert advice and recommending tailored products and services
- Handling seasonal machine work (aerating, scarifying, top-dressing)
- Building relationships and growing our business during every visit
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
No two days are the same: independent, active, and entirely outdoors.
What We’re Looking For
We’re not necessarily seeking lawn care experts — instead, we’re looking for people who shine with customer service. The technical skills will develop through training, but great customer interactions are at the core.
You’ll thrive here if you:
- Hold a full UK manual driving licence
- Love talking to people and delivering brilliant service
- Have a genuine passion for the outdoors
- Are organised, reliable, and self-motivated
- Have the right to work in the UK
