Fancy something a bit different?
Big Duck Tours has now taken ownership of the incredibly popular Windsor Duck Tour and we are looking for experienced Boatmasters to grow the team as we grow the product.
You'll be taking charge of our unique amphibious "Duck", operating on the River Thames before returning to land to continue the tour. We currently operate a diesel Duck, with a brand-new electric Duck joining the fleet soon.
If you're also qualified to drive, we have dual role opportunities available at £19 per hour, giving you the chance to both drive on the road and captain the vessel on the river.
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
