For 80 years we've supported people in later life across the borough, helping them remain independent, connected and well. Today we're recognised as one of Stockport's leading independent charities, working with local communities, the NHS, Stockport Council and voluntary sector partners to improve lives every day.

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.
This is a voluntary role offering the chance to make a genuine impact within your community.
We're looking for someone who:
- Has senior leadership, executive or Board-level experience.
- Can provide strategic oversight and good governance.
- Enjoys building partnerships and influencing others.
- Shares our values and commitment to improving later life.
- Has a strong, current personal connection with Stockport.
Whether you live or work here or have been brought up here and still live nearby, you'll understand our communities and want to help shape their future.
