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 an exciting, varied position with no experience in care required; many other skills and experiences can be valuable for this role.
The role is best suited to friendly, respectful and open-minded individuals, who are extremely reliable and have the excellent communication skills required to provide Emma with attentive yet unobtrusive assistance.
When you’re on duty you’ll be based at her home and travelling with her for work and leisure. You can sleep at night while on duty, though you may be called on if needed.
Shifts and pay
Shifts are worked in blocks of 24, 48 or 84 hours, agreed in advance to fit your schedule. Pay is £360 per 24 hours, with your 5.6 weeks’ annual leave pay included.
