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.
You will keep an overview of the service. This includes rotas, care plans, risk assessments, reviews, and staff supervision. You will make sure people receive the right support at the right time.
A key part of the role is to ensure people are well supported in their own homes and remain part of their local community.
You will regularly check the quality of work carried out by frontline staff. You will work closely with health and social care professionals and make sure our services meet CQC standards and our own policies.
This is a busy role that needs good organisation. You will complete reviews, update care plans, carry out risk assessments, and visit people in their homes and services. You will also attend meetings with other professionals, speak with families, and help make sure people receive the right benefits.
We are looking for someone who puts people first. You will support individuals to make their own choices and live as independently as possible.
You will often need to think on your feet and find practical solutions to challenges. A calm and confident approach is important, along with the ability to work with a wide range of people.
With support from experienced Care Managers, you will manage your own workload, work independently when needed, and keep clear and accurate digital records.
