This is more than just a job. It's a chance to build lasting relationships, support people to achieve their goals, and help them enjoy everything their local community has to offer.
No Two Days Are the Same
As a Care Support Worker, you'll be supporting people to live life their way, encouraging independence, confidence and choice.

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.
Our focus is always on supporting people to lead fulfilling lives and be active members of their community. We listen to what matters to each individual and support them to make their own choices, build confidence and develop new skills.
People We Support Regularly Enjoy
- Trips to Drayton Manor and Trentham Gardens
- Swimming and badminton at Stafford Leisure Centre
- Shopping at Queens Shopping Park
- Cinema visits to Odeon Stafford
- Bowling at Tenpin Stafford
- Social activities, events and days out with friends
Many people also volunteer or work within the local area, and we actively support them to achieve their ambitions and maintain their independence.
