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.
The Role
Based in our brand-new offices in Bournemouth, you will join the wider Family team in a full-time, permanent role, working on a varied mix of finance and children matters. You will have the opportunity to work alongside and directly support some of the region’s most highly regarded senior Family solicitors on complex, high-value and often sensitive matters. Alongside managing smaller matters independently, you will benefit from exceptional exposure to sophisticated casework and leading specialist expertise, providing an outstanding platform from which to refine your skills, build your professional profile and develop a high-quality caseload of your own. You will also play an active role in marketing and business development as the team continues its strategic growth.
About You
We're looking for a qualified lawyer with around 2-5 years' post-qualification experience and experience across areas including:
- Divorce and civil partnership dissolution
- Financial matters involving pensions, private companies, property portfolios and tax issues
- Variations of maintenance applications
- Schedule 1 cases
- Cohabitation disputes
- Private law children disputes, including internal and international relocation

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Knowledge of child abduction work is welcome but not essential. You will ideally have trained and gained experience with a well-regarded firm and be looking for an opportunity to continue developing within an expanding Family team.

Alongside a competitive package, you will join an established Family team offering high-quality work, specialist expertise and genuine opportunities to develop your career.
