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.
The OPD Pathway is a specialist service and a joint initiative between His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and NHS England, working with high-risk offenders who experience severe personality disorder. Our team sits within the wider Somerset Forensic Service, offering opportunities to collaborate with a range of services including community forensic teams, inpatient settings, and criminal justice partners.
