About Us
We are looking for a Sales Manager to join our team on site in the sales and marketing suite at our brand new Audley Site, Headley Court.
The new retirement village will safeguard the future of the Grade II listed historic mansion house and restore the extensive landscaped grounds, which will be made available for the local community to enjoy for the first time in its history.
We develop and run villages with the wow factor that enhance the lives of our owners, their family and their friends. Through our three brands, Audley Villages, Mayfield Villages and Elysian Residences, we offer stylish apartments and houses complete with the best facilities from bistros and bars, to health clubs and swimming pools. And, of course, exceptional service throughout. What's more, through our dedicated care teams we provide owners as well as customers out in the local community with the support they need to remain independent. It's retirement, but not as the UK has known it.
The planned new luxury retirement village near Leatherhead will include 112 apartments, the Audley Club health and wellbeing suite, and a restaurant.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
