Are you an experienced operations leader with a proven track record of managing high-performing teams and driving operational excellence?

We are looking for a dynamic Service Centre Manager to take ownership of a busy and fast-paced service centre, ensuring exceptional customer service, operational efficiency, and team performance.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a successful organisation where you will have full responsibility for the day-to-day management of the site, leading a team of over 40 employees and playing a key role in driving continuous improvement, customer satisfaction, and business growth.

The Role

As Service Centre Manager, you will oversee all operational activities within the service centre, ensuring service levels, productivity targets, and quality standards are consistently achieved. You will be responsible for developing and motivating your team, managing budgets, improving processes, and maintaining a safe and compliant working environment.

You will act as a key liaison between customers, employees, and senior management, ensuring the smooth and efficient delivery of services while identifying opportunities for operational improvements.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
