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.
Because of the nature of the job, some physical tasks such as moving and handling and providing personal care are required.

- Basic pay of £12.85 - £13.05 per hour
- Saturdays at £19.28 - £19.59 per hour
- Sundays and bank holidays at £25.70 - £26.11 per hour
Previous experience is helpful but not essential. We offer a thorough induction, personalised training, and full funding to complete the QCF Diploma and Level 2 Health and Social Care qualifications.
The successful candidate will be required to undertake an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Costs for the DBS are covered by Rutland County Council.
Please note: successful applicants will also need a full driving licence to travel to different locations and use service vehicles.
