About the Role

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.
Our school office is extremely busy and varied, so no two days are the same! You will need to remain calm under pressure, manage competing priorities, use your initiative and confidently problem-solve as situations arise.
Key Requirements
The successful candidate will have:
- Strong administration, communication and IT skills
- Excellent attention to detail
- A professional, welcoming manner
- Flexibility
- Dependability
- Comfort working in a fast-paced environment as part of a supportive team
