This role is acting as temporary cover whilst our Activities Co-ordinator is on long-term sick leave. The ‘Activities programming’ part of this role is being covered internally, so this post focuses on administrative and operational support.
This is a temporary contract until the end of the year (31st December 2026), or until the postholder returns to the post, with a month's notice period. There is the potential to extend this contract by up to a further 6 months if mutually agreed.
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.
It is expected that the 0.4FTE (14.5 hours) would be split over two 7.25 hour days (8.45am-5pm). Ideally these would be Thursdays and Fridays although some flexibility may be possible.
