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.
Collaborative Care
CMHTs work closely with other agencies and organisations to promote the health and wellbeing of the local population. Responsibility for care is shared between the CMHT, partner organisations, the service user, and their loved ones.
Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) Approach
Our teams operate in a collaborative, recovery-focused way, guided by trauma-informed care principles. The MDT includes:
- Consultant Psychiatrists

- Community Support Workers
- Peer Support Workers
- Representatives from social care, housing, drug and alcohol services, and the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector
Keyworker Model
Each service user has an identified keyworker within the team, who acts as their main point of contact and provides continuity of care for both the service user and their carer.
