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.
You will have access to various workshops as necessary and you will also have access to and access to a range of classrooms to support with delivering a high standard of teaching. You will also have access to our brand new state of the art Advanced Manufacturing Building.
As you gain experience and become more comfortable in the role there may be an opportunity to work across our sites in Chesterfield and Derby.
Applicants should hold at least a Level 3 qualification in engineering (however a HNC/D would be an advantage), have a manufacturing/maintenance background and varied experience in the engineering sector. The successful applicant will be required to deliver both workshop and theory sessions in engineering up to Level 3 for Apprentices and full time students.
We work closely with a number of local employers and deliver across multiple areas within the Engineering sector, specialising in Manufacturing, Maintenance, Fabrication & Welding and Design.
Teaching experience/possession of a teaching qualification and assessor award would be advantageous but not essential as training will be provided to the correct applicant. It is our vision for this new member of the team to enhance our current delivery and contribute towards developing a curriculum that meets the needs of our local employers.
