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 Do You Need?
To excel in this crucial role, you’ll require:
- A level 3 NVQ in Vehicle Maintenance and Repair, or equivalent with comparable experience.

- Shift pattern flexibility, including nights, weekends, and bank holidays (breakdowns don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule).
