About Us
Napo started with a dog. Our founder JP struggled to get decent insurance for his dachshund, Napoleon, as he got older. When Napo passed away, JP built the company he wished had existed, one that actually looks after pets and the people who love them.
That's still the whole point. We offer lifetime cover up to £16,000 a year, free 24/7 vet video calls through FirstVet, and we pay vets directly so owners aren't stuck managing bills while their pet's unwell. We're proud to be a Which? Best Buy, rated Defaqto 5-star and Excellent on Trustpilot, and we back that up where it counts too, with a 95% claim acceptance rate and most claims settled within 5 days.
We're a small team building something people notice. Everyone at Napo owns real problems and sees their work go live fast, no bureaucracy, no waiting around for six people to sign off. If you want to do work that changes how pet owners experience insurance, and see the impact within weeks not years, we'd love to hear from you. 🐾
Why join us
Join a powerful team that's building something pet owners really need.
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.
We're a bit obsessed with getting things right for pets and the humans who love them. That's the whole point of Napo, and it's why we need people who care about doing the work well, not just doing it.
If that sounds like your kind of challenge, we'd love to hear from you. Come help us build a better way to insure pets. 🐾
