About You
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.
We are looking for someone with at least 5 years’ PQE gained in a busy Family law practice, together with sound technical expertise, good judgement and a practical approach. You will be committed to excellent client service and collaborative working. Collaborative law training, Resolution membership or a Family Law mediation qualification would be welcome, but none is essential.
What We Offer
You will join a busy, close-knit and supportive team, with a high degree of autonomy and the freedom to shape your role. There are clear opportunities to progress and build a rewarding long-term career, alongside a competitive salary and benefits package. Hybrid working options are also available.
