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.

- Morning: 9:00am – 12:00pm
- Afternoon: 4:30pm – 6:30pm
There will also be a requirement to work some Bank Holidays.
The split shifts provide a break in the middle of the day, making this role particularly suitable for someone looking for regular weekend work.

We're looking for someone who is:
- Caring, patient, and attentive
- Reliable and punctual
- Comfortable working independently
- Happy getting stuck into cleaning and practical tasks

If you're dependable, hardworking, and would love the opportunity to spend your weekends looking after cats, we'd love to hear from you.
