About Us
We are looking for a highly committed practitioner to support, develop and implement our strategies for working with students and families to overcome barriers to learning. We are looking for someone who believes in building strong relationships with pupils and families and is willing to go the extra mile to support them in being successful, both in and outside of school.
The role is to provide exceptional care, support and guidance. You will be required to set high expectations for all pupils at Pencoedtre High School in all pastoral matters.
You will assist with providing support and interventions to meet the pastoral and learning needs of pupils by providing support to both pupils and their parents/carers. This is a varied role working closely with parents, carers, as well as the wider school staff adhering to the school’s behaviour procedures and policies to promote the welfare and protection of all students attending the school. The position demands high professional standards and experience of working with young people.
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.
