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.
A particularly exciting aspect of this opportunity is that you will become part of a team dedicated to clients within the education sector.
No previous education sector experience is required.
The firm is much more interested in finding a technically strong Employment Solicitor who is passionate about employment law, keen to learn and interested in developing expertise within the sector.
You will work as part of an established national team with plenty of support from senior lawyers and Partners, alongside opportunities to develop your technical expertise, client relationships and longer-term career.
