- Leadership
- Recruitment
- Training
- Planning
- Communication
- Customer acquisition
- Financial management
- Business performance
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.
As you develop, you'll work alongside experienced managers, take on greater responsibility, and learn what goes into building and managing a successful team and operation.
What You'll Develop
- Leadership and people management
- Recruitment, training, and coaching
- Business and commercial awareness
- Planning and organisation
- Communication and public speaking
- Performance and KPI management
- Customer and relationship management
You'll learn through hands-on experience, structured training, and ongoing mentoring.
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for ambitious, proactive, and motivated people who want to develop and progress. You'll ideally be:
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Confident working with people
- Coachable
- Self-motivated
- Interested in business, management, or entrepreneurship
Experience in hospitality, retail, customer service, events, or other people-focused environments can be useful, but no previous experience is required.
Why Meridian?
You'll receive full training and ongoing mentoring, practical business experience, and opportunities to develop your leadership and management skills. Progression is based on performance and development rather than length of service.
Applicants must be able to commute to Middlesbrough and be available to start immediately or at short notice.
