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.
What You’ll Do
As an Autism Practitioner, you’ll:
- Support autistic individuals across a mixture of outreach, housing support, and residential services to lead happy and fulfilling lives.
- Develop individuals' independence, confidence, and everyday life skills, including managing and maintaining their own tenancy, household tasks, cooking, budgeting, and paying bills.
- Support people to build confidence in relationships, access groups, activities, and local amenities, and become more involved in their communities.
- Support individuals to achieve personal goals, while promoting their voice, choice in all aspects of their lives.
- Personal care is an essential part of the role and will vary depending on individual needs. This may include support with toileting, medication, bathing, and oral hygiene.
This is a 24/7 service, and you'll work a fixed rota covering a mix of morning, day, evening, sleepover and weekend shifts. In some services, 7am starts are an essential requirement of the rota and applicants must be able to accommodate these shifts.
