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.
You will provide a high level of support and advice to colleagues across the University and will become an expert in Casework policies.
The successful applicant for this post will have experience of working flexibly both as part of a team and of working independently to deliver an outstanding customer service experience. You will have excellent organisational and communication skills, excellent attention to detail and ideally have experience of casework in this or a similar compliance related background.
