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.
Whilst experience within the charity or health and safety sectors is not necessary, we are looking for someone with a genuine interest in supporting an organisation that creates positive impact.
Time commitment
This is an unremunerated voluntary Trustee appointment. The Board meets approximately four times a year, with meetings held both virtually and in person. Trustees also attend an annual strategy session and may occasionally participate in Board committees or other events.
