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.
Responsibilities
This is a hands-on, seasonal part-time position requiring adaptability. Some of your daily/weekly tasks may include:
- Managing high/store traffic periods, including crowd control and customer direction
- Supporting frontline sales teams (product restocking, inventory checks)
- Assisting with timed delivery movements to/from our stockroom
- Engaging with customers to provide product guidance and advice
- Regular merchandising tasks (seasonal product resets, displays)
- Maintaining a clean, organized, and welcoming store environment
Requirements
Ideally, you’ll bring these strengths to the team:
- Previous retail or customer-facing experience (especially within fashion/lifestyle/luxury brands) is a bonus but not essential.
- Flexibility to work weekends, evenings and key seasonal trading days, particularly during peak summer hours.
- Authentic love for Docs – share our brand’s ethos and excitement with customers!
- Strong communication skills to build rapport with both colleagues and diverse customers.
- Physical resilience and energy – our stores can get busy, and you’ll help hold things together.
- Authentic, fearless personality – professional yet approachable.
