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.
The most important qualities are a positive attitude, strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to work collaboratively as part of a team. You should be adaptable, willing to take initiative and able to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.
Experience in education, youth work, community development, event coordination, programme administration or volunteering is desirable but not essential. We also welcome applicants with transferable skills gained through employment, study or voluntary work.
A commitment to safeguarding, equality, diversity and inclusion is essential, along with a genuine interest in education, wellbeing and youth leadership. Confidence using Microsoft Office or Google Workspace is beneficial, and training will be provided where needed.
Above all, we are looking for someone who shares eduSOIL's values and wants to make a meaningful difference by helping children and young people develop the confidence, skills and opportunities to create positive change in their communities.
