LOVE DRIVING? HATE MULTI-DROP?
Then this could be exactly what you’re looking for.
Forget 100+ doorstep deliveries.
We’re looking for self-employed drivers to support our growing operation across a range of contracts. The role will mainly involve collecting parcels from customers and returning them to our warehouse, but you may also be required to support other driving work, including deliveries, depending on operational requirements.
You must have a LWB vehicle but if you don’t have one don’t worry we can assist you and refer you to our preferred supplier.
COLLECT. SCAN. RETURN. DONE.
It’s straightforward:
- Drive to the seller
- Meet some great clients
- Scan the parcels on site so there’s full visibility
- Bring them back to the warehouse
- Scan them back in
- Job done!
FLEXIBLE WORK
We have different route lengths and start times available depending on operational requirements.
Route durations are not fixed and actual finish times will depend on the route, volume and operational requirements.
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.
