About the Role
We’re seeking a motivated, self-driven and highly organised Employment Support Officer to join our team and play a vital role in delivering an externally funded programme.

Working closely with local employers and community partners, you’ll help create sustainable pathways into work and self-employment, making a real difference to both individuals and the wider community.
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 your chance to be the person who helps someone take that life-changing step into their dream career. Drawing on your experience in employability support and your verified ability to deliver successful projects, you’ll support long-term unemployed people in rebuilding their confidence, skills and prospects, enabling them to transform their lives.
It is an opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting impact, something you can truly take pride in. If you hold a Level 4 NVQ Diploma in Advice and Guidance (IAG) or an equivalent qualification, we would love to hear from you.
