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 help ensure that projects and products are delivered within agreed governance arrangements and that improvement activity is well planned, evidence-led and aligned to programme priorities.
Required Skills and Experience
We are looking for someone with strong organisational, analytical and communication skills, and experience of supporting projects, improvement activity or business analysis work. Knowledge of Adult Social Care, local government or public sector transformation would be an advantage, but the ability to work collaboratively, manage competing priorities and turn complex information into clear plans and products will be equally important.
