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.
Lone Working And The Outdoor Environment
Lone working is a significant part of this role. You’ll regularly be responsible for operating the Rocket independently, including opening or closing the store, serving customers, managing priorities and following all safety and security procedures without another team member on site.
You’ll need to be confident making decisions, managing busy periods and knowing when to contact a manager for support. As the Rocket is an outdoor store, you must also be comfortable working in all kinds of British weather.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Because of the lone-working responsibilities involved, applicants must be 18 years or over.
