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.
There are multiple roles available, with posts available in the College of Science and Engineering and the College of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities. You will be able to indicate a College preference in your application.
About you
You will have proven experience coordinating administrative or student-support services in a busy, multi-stakeholder environment. You will have a demonstrated ability to supervise or guide staff, allocating work and monitoring performance to meet service standards, although direct line-management experience is not essential.
You will be committed to delivering high levels of customer service and implementing improvements which enhance efficiency or student satisfaction. Evidence of contributing to process or service improvements is desirable.
You will have experience using large-scale IT or student-records systems to manage operational processes and ensure data accuracy. You will also have good analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to interpret data, identify issues and propose practical, evidence-based solutions.
