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.
How long and how often?
We are ideally looking for an ongoing commitment of at least 4 hours a week and on regular days of the week if possible. Our office hours are Tuesday-Thursday, 9am–5pm but we can be flexible around your availability with whichever days and hours you can do.
What can you expect from us?
- Job satisfaction knowing that your input creates special memories for seriously ill 16-40 year olds across the UK.
- Being part of a fun and enthusiastic team.
- Full training and support in all aspects of the role.
- Reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
