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.
Driving Licence Required
Due to the mobile nature of this role, you’ll need a full UK driving licence with no more than 6 penalty points. A work van will be provided for travel between sites.

We’re looking for someone who is:
- Friendly, reliable, and self-motivated
- Able to manage their own time and work independently
- Comfortable using cleaning equipment (training provided)
- A good communicator who follows Health & Safety guidelines
Previous Cleaning Experience Is Helpful, But Not Essential.
What’s in it for You?
- 22.5 days annual leave, rising to 25 after 5 years’ service – plus bank holidays
- Company van provided – with fuel expenses covered between sites
- Free uniform and PPE
- Defined Contribution pension scheme
- Employee referral scheme
- Free parking at work locations
- Full training and induction – no experience needed!

You can complete it using a laptop, smartphone, or tablet — whatever works best for you — and you can do it at a time that suits you.
Don’t have the means to complete this or would prefer to speak with one of our team? No problem, we can also offer a short telephone assessment as an alternative.
Please note: This vacancy may close early once we receive enough applications—so don’t wait!
