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.
Your role will include:
- Planning and delivering sessions
- Adapting activities to suit different learners
- Ensuring everything you do is safe and inclusive
You will have the opportunity to contribute new ideas and activities, working closely with a supportive education team to improve and grow what we offer.
When you are not delivering in the field, you will support the wider running of a busy education centre. This is an active role, weekly hours will vary, with more during busy periods and fewer in quieter weeks. Some weeks can be busy and demanding, but it is also highly rewarding work.
