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.
Due to the client's condition, it is essential that carers are able to maintain a calm, quiet, and low-stimulation environment, keeping unnecessary noise, light, and disruption to a minimum.

- Daily hours: 13-hour day with a 2-hour break
- Sleep-in: 9 hours per night, with occasional assistance allowed (max twice, 15 minutes each)
