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.
Whilst our day job is to deliver first class customer service to our stakeholders and partners, you will be used to "spinning several plates" at once and will always be looking for ways to improve and innovate.
You will be comfortable with regular national travel to support the development of a pipeline of projects, analysing development proposals, working in close collaboration with other departments within Homes England and externally, managing preparation of business cases and approvals and contracting grant opportunities.
Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isn’t always easy. You will be resilient and comfortable managing stakeholders at a senior level and your discussions will always be shaped by a good understanding of the commercial and operational impact of what we do as a Housing and Infrastructure Grant Transactions team. You will enjoy working across the Agency, be innovative, creative, fun and engaging and be able to negotiate and execute transactions.
As an experienced Economic Development, Regeneration, Surveying, Planning or similar professional, with experience of development, financial viability appraisals, project cashflows, cost analysis and deliverability, you will understand how to collaborate with colleagues and be able to demonstrate that you can work with partner organisations in a collaborative and inclusive way.
