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.
The SCFT is a developing and innovative service supporting individuals with severe and enduring mental health difficulties and complex forensic risk profiles. The team works across inpatient, community and forensic pathways to support admission avoidance, facilitate successful discharges from secure services and improve long-term outcomes for service users.
