Do you need a new challenge that not only helps you to develop your skills but is integral to the community? Did we mention there is no evening or Sunday working too?! Our managers lead from the front and take their colleagues and customers on an amazing journey!

Responsibilities
As the Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the shop.

In addition to this, you will be expected to ensure that the donations are prepared and sorted, ready for the shop floor. This role will involve a significant amount of manual handling.
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.
