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.
You'll work with schools, colleges and educational organisations, helping teachers and group leaders organise trips from the initial enquiry through to departure. You'll provide expert advice, prepare quotations, coordinate bookings with airlines and suppliers, and ensure every trip runs smoothly.
This is a varied role requiring excellent organisation, attention to detail and a genuine passion for delivering outstanding customer service.
Occasional travel may be required, so a driving licence is an advantage.
The role is based in our Bristol office full-time.
