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.

Hours
This is a part-time role working 2 days per week plus 1 in 3 Saturdays (8:30am -12:30pm). There is scope for hours to increase if the candidate wishes as the practice gets busier.
Benefits
- Competitive salary of £35k (dependent on experience)

- No out-of-hours (OOH) work.
