Are you looking for your next role? How about Regulatory Services?
Regulatory Services is where legislation meets the real world. We are out across the city every day in private rented homes across the city, from single family households to large houses in multiple occupation. We investigate complaints, carry out inspections, gather evidence and, where necessary, use our statutory powers to protect the public. It is visible work. It is practical. And it makes a tangible difference.
Together we protect health, improve housing conditions and tackle criminal activity throughout the city by carrying out advisory visits and compliance checks through to formal enforcement action and preparing and attending cases for court or hearings.
Regulatory Compliance Officers lead detailed inspections and build evidence-based cases that stand up to scrutiny, ensuring businesses and landlords meet their statutory obligations.
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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
