About the Company

Our work is the catalyst that helps others achieve their goals. In short, We Enable Possibility℠.

Role Summary and Purpose

We are expanding our Bristol branch as part of our strategic growth ambitions for 2026, and are looking for a talented individual to join our team.

You’ll be actively involved in on-site broker development, supporting the technical management of the regional account in line with our regional strategy, financial plan, and personal objectives.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a minimum of 2 years’ experience in commercial insurance underwriting who is looking to grow their career in a dynamic and expanding regional office.

Key Tasks and Responsibilities

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
