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 need to be confident using Microsoft Office and willing to learn new systems quickly. Full training will be provided on the firm’s internal systems and employment rights processes.
More about you...
This is an excellent opportunity for an organised and motivated individual who is committed to delivering a high standard of support within a legal environment. You will provide comprehensive administrative assistance across a wide range of tasks, supporting lawyers on a varied employment rights caseload, including complex and high-profile matters.
