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.
What you'll need to succeed
This position is open to a broad range of legal professionals. Unlike many traditional fee-earning roles, a specific qualification is not required. The firm is open to Solicitors, Legal Executives, Licensed Conveyancers, and candidates who are qualified by experience, ideally bringing at least one year's experience managing plot sales transactions, ideally with some broader residential sale/purchase experience. You will have strong communication and relationship-building skills, enabling you to work closely with developers, sales teams and colleagues.
What you'll get in return
You will be joining a forward-thinking, supportive firm that places genuine emphasis on professional development, wellbeing and flexible working. The firm offers high-quality work, clear opportunities for progression and a friendly, approachable culture grounded in trust. Hybrid working is available, and although the role is full-time, the firm is open to discussing alternative working patterns to support individual needs.
