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 will also include the processing of licence applications and helping applicants, interested parties and other regulatory agencies to achieve appropriate licensing outcomes.
There will be the opportunity to be involved with developing processes, procedures and policies, as we look to continually improve the service we provide.
We are looking for a flexible, pragmatic, team player with excellent communication, interpersonal skills and attention to detail, who has the ability to work with technical legislation to provide a high quality, customer-focused service in a flexible manner.
For an informal discussion about the post, please contact Shelley Bowman, Licensing Manager on.
