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.

As part of a university-wide network of change practitioners, you will help build change capability by applying and promoting our people-centred approach. We are looking for an experienced professional with strong consulting, analytical and relationship-building skills who can work effectively across organisational boundaries, influence stakeholders at all levels and use insight and evidence to support successful outcomes.
