What will the role look like?

The priority for the Schools Family Support Worker is to ensure that families are helped to overcome barriers which prevent children, young people and family members in achieving positive outcomes. This is particularly in relation to service users overcoming barriers which prevent or reduce engagement with learning and attendance at school as well as engaging with other services to address a wide range of needs that the family may present with.

What we are looking for?

We are looking for someone with experience of working with vulnerable children and young people. They will also have experience of working within a whole family approach as well as the skills to manage a client caseload.

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.
