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 role will involve assisting on existing complex cases as well as taking responsibility for progressing your own caseload. You will gain exposure across the full lifecycle of personal injury claims, from initial instruction through to resolution, and play an active role within a busy and supportive team.
Who we are looking for....
We are keen to hear from candidates with fee earning experience in personal injury or a similar litigation environment. Qualification as a solicitor is desirable but not essential.

Strong organisational skills, the ability to meet deadlines, and confidence using case management systems are important. As the role involves regular client contact, a professional and empathetic approach to client care is essential.
