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.
If your application is successful, you will be given a thorough induction and training programme within Citizens Advice to allow you to deal with a full range of enquiries for both telephone and face to face interactions. The training will enable you, for example, to advise people on their employment rights, if they are getting the right benefits, what to do if they have been given notice to leave their home. You will also be trained in how to interview clients and make a record of the interviews. You will be fully supported in your work with clients.
After training we will continue to develop you and your skills. You are expected to travel around the North East Derbyshire and Bolsover Districts to a number of locations.
