What We Do
We are committed to providing high quality care for people in the comfort of their own homes (as an alternative to residential care) throughout Newport and the surrounding area of South Monmouthshire. This means that you will need to drive and have your own vehicle to work for us.
While many companies only pay Care Assistants for contact time, we believe that you should be paid for every minute that you work. That's why we pay our carers for travel time and mileage too.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
