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.
This could be the perfect start to an exciting career for you.
About the Role

- Good judgement and common sense
- Strong teamwork skills
As an OSG, you will work across various shifts, including weekends and nights.
Driving duties are a key part of this role at HMP Grendon and HMP Springhill, so you must hold a full, valid UK driving licence.

This career provides you with the chance to:
- Protect the public
- Support the important work happening daily in HM Prisons
- Gain significant insight into how a prison operates
Selection of an Operational Support Grade role allows for progression opportunities, particularly through the OSG to Prison Officer conversion scheme—though your direct contact with inmates remains limited.
