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.

Working alongside experienced colleagues, you'll develop valuable professional skills, behaviors, and commercial awareness while building your confidence in the workplace. You'll collaborate across teams, analyse information, solve problems, and contribute fresh perspectives, gaining exposure to how technology, engineering, data, and AI are applied across a wide range of roles, disciplines, and business areas throughout Royal London.
Throughout the ten-week programme, you'll also work as part of a wider intern cohort on a group project, bringing together your learning and insights to develop recommendations that you’ll present to senior leaders at the end of the internship.
