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.

- A successful track record in business development and sales.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
- Well organised with good attention to detail.
- Self-motivated and able to manage your own workload.
- Resilient with a positive attitude.
- A genuine interest in SEND education.
SEND recruitment experience would be an advantage but is not essential.
Salary & Benefits
- £35,000 - £50,000 basic salary depending on experience.
- Uncapped bonus scheme.
- Hybrid or remote working (depending on location).
- 33 days' annual leave including Bank Holidays.
