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 collaborative, supportive and friendly environment where every individual is valued and recognised.
- Ongoing support for your professional and personal development.
- A competitive rewards package, including:
- A firm-wide bonus scheme.
- Discounted local gym membership.
- A free BUPA health check.
- Contributions towards annual eye tests and the cost of glasses.
- A culture that encourages growth, development and long-term career success.
What We're Looking For:
- Strong administration or coordination experience, ideally gained within a professional services environment.
- Previous experience as a Secretary or Personal Assistant (desirable).
- Excellent communication and organisational skills.
- Enthusiasm, initiative, and a willingness to learn.
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
- A collaborative approach and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.
- A positive, proactive attitude and a commitment to delivering high-quality support throughout the firm.
