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.
Who We're Looking For
You don't need to be a parent, work in education or have governed before. We're looking for curiosity, good listening skills, time to give and a commitment to young people's futures.
What We Offer
You'll get a full induction, ongoing training and support from the Trust's governance team. You'll also gain experience in questioning, strategic thinking and reporting that is valued by employers. Appointments are for three years and can be renewed.
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, so that our governance reflects the community the school serves.
Safeguarding Statement
The Gateway Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The Gateway Trust ensures that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment.
