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.
Some visits may include more personal health-related support — we provide full paid training for all of this, so no experience or medical background is needed.
No Experience? No Problem!
You don’t need previous care experience — we’ll train, support, and cheer you on from day one.
We’re looking for people with the right values and attitude. For example:
- Have you cared for a loved one or supported a family member?
- Are you someone who can chat easily and make others feel at ease?
- Do you enjoy helping people and making a difference in someone’s day?
If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
Hours
Hours will vary whilst we build our client base, with a mix of:
