Vehicle Technician / MOT Tester – Up to £42.5k Basic, Tool Insurance & NO Weekends!

Ready to bring your skills to a premier, family-owned independent garage with over 40 years of local success? Step away from corporate main-dealer stress and join our high-profile, spacious 7-bay facility in Totton with zero weekend shifts!

About Us

We are a premier, family-run independent workshop with over four decades of trusted local heritage. Operating out of a high-profile, clean, and spacious 7-bay facility in Totton, we handle a wide variety of vehicles—from modern daily drivers to light commercial fleets. We’ve completely replaced high-pressure corporate targets with a quality-focused, supportive environment backed by a friendly, hands-on management team that truly looks after its staff.

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.
