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.
You’ll also:
- Help customers discover the wellbeing benefits of our expertly designed chairs and sofas
- Support them in finding a style, fabric, and size that suits their needs
- Keep the showroom looking its best, ensuring everything feels fresh, tidy, and welcoming
We’re open every day, so you’ll need to be happy working a mix of weekdays and weekends. A DBS check will apply, as this is a customer-facing role.
Key Requirements
- A warm, empathetic and friendly approach
- A great eye for detail and pride in your presentation
- A passion for people and helping others
Previous experience in retail sales and customer service is a plus, but what truly matters is:
- Your enthusiasm
- Your positive attitude
- Your eagerness to learn
The Kind of Person We Love Working With
- Honest and professional
- Passionate about doing a great job
- Open to learning and feedback
- A team player who enjoys celebrating success
