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.
- Experience: While your experience could have been gained in a variety of sectors or industries, you will have held a management or senior role within a higher education or academic environment.
- Interest: You will also have a genuine interest in higher education and an appreciation of the University's vision, values and strategic objectives.
We offer an excellent employment package including hybrid working, blending a mix of remote and on-campus working (dependent on work duties).
