About the Role
We are seeking an exceptional, engaging, and committed individual to join us as a Careline Alarm Warden.
This role is a varied, interesting, and exciting opportunity to work as part of a team.
As an Alarm Warden, you will support vulnerable service users within the borough, whether this is by providing support on the phone, driving to the residents' property to assist with an accident or injury, liaising with family members, contacting emergency services or other professionals, or taking emergency calls for our out-of-hours service such as social services, emergency planning, highways, or health and social care.
What We’re Looking For
You will need to have excellent communication skills, ICT skills to log jobs, and the ability to work on your own initiative to prioritize tasks and calls while remaining calm and professional.
If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you. This is a rewarding role; full on-the-job training will be provided.
The Careline operates 365 days of the year, 24 hours a day, so flexibility to work days, nights, weekends, and bank holidays are essential.
This vacancy is for a permanent member of staff to work a Sunday day shift. The shift pattern is 6.50am to 19.10pm (day shift).
Essential Qualifications
- A full manual driving licence is essential for this role to be able to drive the works vehicle across the borough.
- A good knowledge of the local area is also essential for this role.
- DBS Check: Enhanced level with Adults Barred List is required for this post.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
