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.
We also have a dedicated Faith Centre. This is a unique space for those with or without faith to come together and build connections.
Colleague networks
We have a range of networks available to support colleagues, raise issues, and be a voice to represent colleague interests. The networks are an opportunity to meet other colleagues, develop and have a say in how we deliver on our ambition to create an inspirational, inclusive learning and working environment, celebrating the diversity of our university community in our everyday conversations. There are currently five colleague networks – Parents Network, Salford Proud, BAME Network, Women’s Voice and SalfordAbility, with plans to launch more soon.
Conversations that matter
Here at Salford your voice and views are important to us. We welcome feedback and input from different perspectives. We connect, build communities and have a shared understanding through having great conversations. There are a range of forums available to open up conversations and share our colleague voice, to include our Vice Chancellors Q&A session and our Colleague Forum, to name a few. These forums are important for colleagues to share views, understand different perspectives and build relationships.

Recognition
Saying thank you is important. That’s why our ‘thank you’ colleague recognition scheme is all about that.

We never miss an opportunity to celebrate the fantastic work that happens across the university and our unstoppable colleagues!
Making a Difference
As part of our colleague community, there are many ways you can make a wider difference to our university and its people. Ways in which you can contribute or volunteer include Give As You Earn initiatives for charitable causes and opportunities to volunteer at University-wide events such as graduation, student registration and open days.
