Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar

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 have a caring and empathetic approach, excellent communication skills, and the ability to build positive relationships with residents, their families and colleagues. You'll be a team player who can also work independently, using your initiative to provide high-quality, person-centred support that promotes dignity, choice and independence.
Experience within a care setting is desirable, but above all we are looking for individuals who share our values, have a positive attitude, and are committed to delivering outstanding care. Flexibility is important, as the role involves shift work, including weekends and bank holidays.
In return, you'll receive comprehensive training, ongoing support, and opportunities for development within a welcoming and supportive team environment.
