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.
You’ll work directly with people who may be experiencing financial difficulties or other challenges, helping them access appropriate advice and explore options to improve their situation. The service will primarily be delivered face to face at the foodbank, with home visits arranged where needed.
You’ll be employed and line managed by North & West Gloucestershire Citizens Advice, working closely with the Foodbank and providing progress updates to support the development and delivery of the service.
