- Support events and activities taking place at both Bristol Cathedral and the Lord Mayor’s Chapel
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.
We’re looking for people who genuinely enjoy working with others and take pride in delivering excellent customer service. Strong communication skills, a friendly and proactive approach, and the confidence to engage with a diverse range of visitors are more important than previous Cathedral or heritage experience.

Key Responsibilities
- Providing a warm, informed and inclusive welcome to visitors
- Encouraging donations and Gift Aid to support the Cathedral’s work
- Selling tour tickets and retail items through the Cathedral shop
- Supporting events and activities across Cathedral sites
