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.
Cleaning will include all surfaces, walls and sanitaryware and maintenance may include minor repairs to walls and doors, replacement of plumbing and electrical fixtures and fittings and preparation of external walls in readiness for painting.
Additionally, you’ll provide cover for the depot’s three HGV drivers.

About You
You’ll need a full driving licence for manual vehicles with the authority to tow coupled with practical experience ideally gained in a property maintenance or caretaking role.
You will also hold a Class 1 / C+E licence and preferably have wagon and drag experience. You will also hold a valid Digital Tachograph Card and Driver CPC. Having ALLMI Lorry Loader accreditation D1+E Hook (or equivalent) would be advantageous.
