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.
Shift Patterns
We’re dedicated to providing the best support possible, so shift patterns usually fall between the hours of 0645-2100 hours. Weekends, public holidays and occasional waking nights are worked on a rotational basis.
Waking nights are paid at your normal hourly rate plus an additional £20 for every waking night worked.
If you don't live in Strichen and are not a driver, we will need you to be mindful of the location of our service and be confident that you can travel for your shifts as there are very limited public transport links available that fit with our shift patterns.
