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.
Being comfortable to manage multiple tasks will be an important skill for the successful candidate. As alongside their meet and greet duties, they will assist with meetings and events, the booking of rooms, handling incoming telephone calls, remaining security focused, and carrying out administrative tasks, balancing all duties in perfect harmony.
The FOH Host will also receive ad-hoc questions and queries, effortlessly taking ownership of issues through to resolution, and are seen as the go-too people in the building.
Hours: 32 hours per week, shifts from 9am-5:30pm, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
Salary: £22,380 per annum
This is a stand-alone reception role. So, the successful candidate must be comfortable to be the sole Portico team member on site, whilst being a part of a larger team within the portfolio.
