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 Museum Operations Manager will ensure that Keswick Museum operates effectively, safely and efficiently, providing a welcoming and engaging experience for visitors and a positive working environment for staff and volunteers. This is a practical management role in a small organisation. You will need to be comfortable taking responsibility, solving problems, managing competing priorities and working collaboratively with colleagues, volunteers and trustees.
This is an exciting time for the museum as we are about to embark on a transformation of the museum and are currently seeking funding to support this process with an additional development role. Working alongside the ops manager this additional role will lead the transformation process identified in the grant application and ensure we have sufficient management capacity needed to develop the organisation for the future.
