The Role:
We are looking for proactive, self-motivated Employment Advisors to join a Connect to Work team across The Wirral. This is a rewarding role working directly with individuals who have disabilities or health-related challenges, supporting them to secure sustainable employment and build long-term confidence and independence.
We welcome applications from candidates with prior Employment Advisor experience or a background as a Recruitment Consultant, as both provide relevant skills for this role.

- Develop tailored action plans and refer customers to relevant training, workshops, mentoring, and other interventions to address barriers and improve employability.
- Set clear SMART targets with each customer and review progress at every appointment to support sustainable movement into employment.
- Maintain accurate records and contribute to reporting on customer outcomes and progress.
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.
