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.
Good communication and presentation skills are also required as you will be engaging with our clients on a daily basis as well as members of the public from time to time.
As a member of the Grounds Maintenance team you will be representing the service, promoting its work and be an advocate for Dorset Council and its partners.
The Place Directorate combines front-line service delivery in coast and countryside services with a key corporate function in property management. Dorset’s environment provides the essential goods and services necessary to maintain economic growth and community wellbeing. For it to continue to do so requires it to be well managed and the service makes a major contribution to this in partnership with others who share DC’s aims. The Service also has responsibility for a wide range of public assets - buildings, land and sites - and ensures that these are used in ways which benefit the people of Dorset as well as meeting organisational need.
