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.
Your new role
You will play a key role in protecting and improving Portsmouth’s built environment by investigating breaches of planning control and ensuring development across the city complies with planning legislation. Working as part of our Planning Enforcement team, you will manage a varied caseload of investigations, carry out site visits, gather evidence, engage with residents and developers, and help secure positive outcomes for communities. For more complex cases, you will use formal enforcement powers and work closely with Legal Services and other partners to achieve compliance. At Senior Planning Officer level, you will also take the lead on high-profile and complex cases, support colleagues and help shape the delivery of the enforcement service.
