About the Role
Due to increasing demand for our neurological occupational therapy and case management services in the North East of England, we’re expanding to enhance support for clients with complex, acquired conditions.

- Complex neurological conditions
- Physical disabilities
- Conduct detailed clinical assessments and produce thorough, evidence-based reports
- Collaborate with clients, families, and carers to support goal-setting and recovery

- Travel to clients’ homes and attend in-person and virtual meetings
- Occasionally visit head office (Penrith) and a secondary site (Owl Barn) for training and team sessions
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.
