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.
Care experience is not required as full training in our client's particular requirements will be provided.
About Our Client
Our client is a creative person and enjoys a variety of things, including learning new languages, creative writing, and socialising with friends. Our client has recently graduated in Creative Writing and is now looking for someone creative, compassionate, and reliable to join her team of PAs in helping facilitate this next step in our client's journey of seeking independence. Experience with caring for a neurodivergent individual is essential for this role.
As written by her...
"I have chosen to study Creative Writing as it is a big passion of mine and I hope to make a career out of it one day, whether that be a novelist, screenwriter, playwright, journalist, etc. I try to write as much as possible, both for my degree and my own enjoyment and research for my own stories as much as possible, whether that be reading or watching films.
I am currently teaching myself Italian and try to practice whenever I can through mutual contacts or local conversational groups. I enjoy going out and socialising, whether that be meeting my friends for coffee, joining societies, going to the theatre/cinema, or other general out and about activities, so PAs who are not only prepared to, but looking forward to, supporting me with the social aspect of student life are really important."
