About the appointment
Introduction
About the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA)
APHA plays a crucial role in protecting the UK’s biosecurity.

The regulatory underpinning provided by the Agency is also integral to our ability to be a successful food trading nation.
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.
You will find APHA staff at the border, on farms and in world-leading laboratories. All of them are delivering on our mission to safeguard animal and plant health for the benefit of everyone in society, the environment, and the economy.
APHA is a world-leading Agency, respected around the world and at the farm gate. It is on a transformation journey, modernising and digitising its operation to continue to rise to the challenges of biosecurity risks in a global world, and the opportunities of developments in science and technology.
