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.
Library experience is an advantage, but we also welcome candidates who have demonstrated exceptional customer service elsewhere.
Please note:
- Library work can be physically demanding.
- Staff may also occasionally be asked to cover other roles within Derbyshire Libraries.
- Some evening and weekend working may be required, with the need for flexibility on occasions to suit the needs of the service
