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.
Experience of working in a social care, health or public sector environment would be beneficial but is not essential.
Working Arrangements
These are hybrid roles. However, successful candidates should expect to spend a significant amount of time working from an office location during their initial induction and training period to support learning, development and integration into the team. Following this, a hybrid working arrangement will be discussed with your manager in line with service needs and Dorset Council's hybrid working arrangements.
