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 are also focused on our people. Our Support Workers are dedicated and passionate about going ‘the extra mile’ for the people we support and in return, we go the extra mile for them by investing in pay, recognition, wellbeing and continued professional and personal development. We will provide you with all the training, support and personal protective equipment you need in your role and will help you develop, should you decide you want to develop your career with us.
About The Role
We’re building a specialist team to support a vibrant and talented young woman, B, who lives life to the fullest and wants a team that helps her do just that. You’ll be part of a close-knit group delivering trauma-informed, person-centred support based on Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) principles.
You’ll help B thrive by supporting her in the things she loves—drama, role play, singing, dancing, cooking, caring for her pets, and staying active at the gym. No two days are the same, and every day is an opportunity to bring joy, build trust, and make a lasting impact.
What B Is Looking For

- Happy, bubbly, and full of life
- Creative and playful - especially if you love drama and role play!
- Animal lovers - she adores her rabbit and guinea pig
- Energetic and active - gym sessions are a regular part of her week
- Musical or artistic - singing, dancing, or playing an instrument is a big plus!
- Great cooks - she’d love to learn from you in the kitchen
- Kind, patient, and emotionally attuned - you’ll need to pick up on subtle cues and respond with care
What You’ll Gain
- Specialist training in PBS and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)
- Access to bespoke learning from top clinicians and NHS behavioural experts
- A supportive, psychologically safe environment for you and your team
- A role where your creativity and personality are celebrated
What You’ll Bring
- Experience in delivering PBS-based support
- A trauma-informed, person-centred approach
- Excellent observation and communication skills
- A commitment to consistency, reliability, and building trust
- A positive, fresh outlook every day
