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.
Experience filming in remote and challenging environments is highly desirable. An understanding of climbing is also helpful.
You will be expected to work in our Bristol office when not on location, so candidates must be based in Bristol or willing to relocate/commute.
Start date: October 2026
Based: Bristol Office
