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.
Experience with a range of ages, including babies and young children, is highly desirable.
Hours
Hours are flexible and vary depending on individual bookings. There are no guaranteed weekly hours, and candidates are free to accept or decline opportunities based on their availability.
We receive both advance bookings and short-notice or emergency childcare requests.
Location
Roles are available across London and surrounding areas. Candidates should be comfortable travelling to different family homes depending on the booking.
Pay
Hourly rates vary depending on the individual booking, location, hours, experience required and level of notice. Full pay details will be provided before you decide whether to accept a booking.
