£26,000 to £28,000 + On Call and Out of Hours Rewards

If you thrive in a fast-paced office environment and you're looking for recognition and genuine opportunities for personal development, where professionalism, quality, honest partnerships and resilience drive success, then look no further.

About Central Employment

Established in 1979, Central Employment is a leading independent recruitment agency with a long-standing reputation built on our Values of Quality, Professionalism, Partnerships, Resilience, and Honesty.

Specialising in temporary, contract, and permanent recruitment, we are committed to delivering an exceptional service.

The Role

Working within our Industrial Team, you’ll have a pivotal role in building and maintaining strong working relationships with our clients and candidates, supporting the successful delivery of recruitment solutions. In return Central Employment can help you build a rewarding career within a team that values ambition, commitment, and results.

What We're Looking for from You:

  • A confident and articulate communicator with a professional and engaging telephone manner.
  • Accurate data entry and maintenance of our CRM system.
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise and manage a busy workload.
  • A keen eye for detail and a commitment to maintaining high standards.
  • Strong IT skills, with proficiency in Microsoft Office applications.
  • A proactive approach to problem-solving.
  • Experience working in a fast-paced office, recruitment, or customer service role is highly desirable, although full training will be given. We're equally keen to hear from you if you are driven, enthusiastic, and bring a positive, can-do, will-do attitude, a willingness to learn, and the determination to succeed.
  • Committed to delivering a first-class service and building positive relationships.
  • A team-focused individual who will support colleagues and contribute to exceptional outcomes for our clients and candidates.
  • A willingness to be on call which means working outside office hours as and when required.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
