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 be fully involved in the general running of the practice and will demonstrate an understanding of the technical, IT, and Case Management systems used, and will help to ensure that standards and compliance requirements are met.
In addition to having excellent communication skills, you will have proven leadership, supervision, or management skills gained at a substantial legal or similar professional organisation. Also, you will be business-focused, be able to project manage, and have the flexibility and drive to enable us to innovate and improve. As Practice Manager, you will be expected to take this to the next level as we look to implement our new Case Management System.
If you are committed to working as part of a team and strive to deliver exceptional service wherever you can, we would especially like to hear from you.
