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.
Whilst your focus will be on tills, you’ll trained in all aspects of customer-facing store life, such as:
- Shop Floor – Helping shoppers find exactly what they’re looking for - and maybe even something they didn’t know they needed. You’ll offer friendly, knowledgeable support that leaves a lasting impression, building loyalty through genuine service and a real passion for our products and people
- Hosting – When something isn’t available on the shelves, you’ll step in with confidence, using our iPad systems to place orders for home delivery, making sure no one leaves empty-handed. You’ll also be trained to deliver our fantastic Made to Measure service, helping create bespoke curtains and blinds tailored to each shopper’s needs. And when it comes to styling key areas like our ever-popular bedding displays, you’ll bring inspiration to life - giving customers the chance to feel the fabrics and find the perfect pieces for their home
- Stock & Delivery – A hands-on role that involves some heavy lifting and plenty of variety. While you’ll be taking in deliveries, checking stock, and replenishing the shop floor, this isn’t just a backroom job - it’s customer-facing too. You’ll keep displays looking their best, update pricing, and recover the store after busy periods, all while staying tuned in to what shoppers need and making sure everything’s easy to find, well-presented, and ready to go
