About the Role
We are looking for a proactive and well-organised Development Assistant to join our small Development team and help support the delivery of new supported housing developments. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys administration, coordination, and communication, but who also wants to be involved in meaningful work that helps create new homes for people who need supported housing.
The role will support new developments from initial assessment through to handover to our Operations team. You will help keep information accurate, monitor progress, follow up actions, and liaise with colleagues and external partners to help developments move forward smoothly.
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.
This is a varied role that combines office-based administration and coordination with occasional property and site visits. You will be part of a supportive team, with induction, training, and ongoing development provided.
How to Apply
