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 successful candidate will have experience of administrative support, project administration, information management or a related role. You should be able to maintain accurate records, prepare documents and spreadsheets, coordinate diaries and meetings, support data collection and reporting, and assist with the smooth running of project activity across multiple partners and workstreams.
This role will suit someone who enjoys working in a busy project environment, takes pride in providing reliable administrative support and is motivated by work that improves access to opportunity. In return, you will play an important role in supporting NHS Grampian’s wider work on employability, fair work, child poverty and community wealth building.
