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.
The ideal candidate will be
- Qualified & Experienced – Holds a relevant degree, diploma, or equivalent experience, with a background in support work or community engagement.
- Self-Sufficient & Organised – Manages workload independently, maintains accurate records, and effectively utilizes IT-based social networking.
- Empathetic & Culturally Aware – Understands mental health challenges (personal or professional experience) and values diversity in local communities.
- Strong Communication & Collaboration – Collaborates effectively with diverse teams, professionals, and individuals to deliver inclusive, impactful support, while actively promoting the service to both professionals and community settings.
- Flexible - Ability to work flexibly and adapt to the needs of the role (can include evening and weekend working).
