Make a Real Difference in People’s Lives
Working in rehabilitation is unlike any other support role. As a Community Support Worker, you’ll play a vital part in helping individuals rebuild their independence, confidence, and everyday life skills following a brain injury.
You’ll walk alongside people on their recovery journey — celebrating milestones, overcoming challenges, and supporting them to achieve their personal goals. Many of the individuals we support stay with us for around three months, giving you the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a short but powerful time.
About Us
We are Brainkind, a national charity dedicated to improving the lives of people with brain injuries across the UK. Through our specialist rehabilitation services, we support individuals recovering from trauma, illness, and other neurological conditions to regain lost skills and live independently.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
