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.
Many of our clients live in rural and remote locations where public transport is limited or unavailable. As a result, the successful candidate will need to be able to travel reliably and independently to and from clients' homes, which may be in areas that are difficult to access by public transport. Travel may be required during early mornings, evenings and periods of reduced daylight.
Applicants should carefully consider whether they can meet the travel requirements of the role before applying.

At Home Instead we value a kind, compassionate heart above all else. We provide full, paid training for all our Care Professionals as standard, although you may not have had formal care training any previous care or personal experiences are always very welcome.
As many of our clients are based in rural locations, access to reliable transportation is essential.
