Why This Role Is Different
This isn't a juggling act. You'll work consistently in one location with the same client and the same team. That means genuine continuity, real relationships, and the time to truly understand your client's needs.
Our client is a young person who loves music, nursery rhymes, cartoons like Peppa Pig and Cocomelon, being read to, and trips to the cinema. We're looking for carers who are warm, patient, engaging — and don't mind joining in with the occasional singalong.
The Role
You'll be part of a 2:1 care team in the client's home. An experienced Complex Care Assistant will lead on the clinical aspects of care, while you provide dedicated support with daily living activities, moving and handling, and ensuring the client remains safe, comfortable, and happy.
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.
