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.
There will also be opportunities to contribute to process improvements, work closely with the Pensions team and wider Finance colleagues, and support key payroll activities and reporting. Training routes may be available for candidates who wish to pursue formal qualifications.
This full-time post is available immediately on an indefinite basis.
UEA offers a variety of flexible working options, and although this role is advertised on a full-time basis, we encourage applications from individuals who would prefer a flexible working pattern, including compressed working hours.
