So if you’re eager to work, highly motivated, enjoy working within a Team, willing to follow instructions and procedures, enjoy supporting your colleagues and being supported by them, able to multi-task, be able to think on your feet, be able to spot problems and find solutions, and do all this in a very fast-paced environment whilst still remaining calm and keeping up your sense of humour, then this could be the ideal job for you, so read on!
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.
Your role will be to provide licensing related advice by way of email, telephone and on occasions face-to-face meetings with the general public, licence holders and a wide range of stakeholders; and to review and process applications and issue licences. You will also handle complaints about licence holders, carry out vetting checks of applicants and existing licence holders, and assist your colleagues in the Licensing Team with the general day-to-day activities of the Service.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Knowledge of licensing legislation or experience of working in a regulatory role would be desirable, however, experience of working in a busy customer service / administrative role would be helpful. If you do not have such experience, but you are willing to be trained, willing to learn, willing to take advice, willing to work hard, and are hungry to make a positive difference to your life and the lives of others, that is just as important to us, as we want to find the right people for our Team who can grow their talents and over time build a career with us.
For an informal discussion, please contact Julian Alison, Licensing Manager: 07989 531419.
Closing date: 30 August 2026
Interviews: 14th August 2026
