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.
We value understanding and respect for diversity and inclusion, especially in relation to neurodiversity.
The Casual Support Worker Role
The support workers role is to supervise and support the children and young people during activities.
Staff are also responsible for assisting with social interactions between members where needed. This might include:
- Explaining the rules of games
- Helping someone understand the feelings of another member
Staff should encourage independence and peer on peer support where possible.
It is perfectly acceptable to observe activities without joining in or talking to the members if this helps encourage the above.

Staff should make an effort to help members understand what happened if things go wrong rather than reprimand them.
Being able to manage challenging behaviour calmly and appropriately is essential. This might mean:
- Removing other children out of the way of an upset member
- Seeking assistance from other staff
- Calming and supporting an upset person
We do not use physical intervention in youth group and if a staff member feels unsafe they are encouraged to move somewhere where they feel more secure.
