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 thrive if your background includes:
- Experience in a similar multi-trade or maintenance role, with basic skills across various trades
- Knowledge and ability to uphold Health & Safety and COSHH regulations
- Expertise in clearing, preparing, and cleaning void properties
A full clean driving licence is mandatory.
This position is available as a job-sharing opportunity.
