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.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and know that you will be too.
As well as your Early Years qualification, you’ll have knowledge and training in the Early Years Foundation Stage, gained during your experience of working with young children in a nursery setting.
You’ll be committed to development and flexibility, willing to undertake training and work across the whole nursery age range.
