Description: Oracle DBA needed. 12 month contract. Inside IR35. Up to £525/day. Oxford, 1 day per week onsite.

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:
- Administer, tune and secure Oracle database environments in production
- Manage backup, restore and disaster recovery processes

- Support a live legacy system migration

- Oxford, 1 fixed day per week onsite (Thursdays)
