Overview
Have you ever considered fostering but thought you lacked the specific experience?
You don't need prior fostering experience to apply. If you work in health, education, or social care, you already possess the core skills, empathy, and resilience needed to support a young person through trauma-informed care.
Our partner fostering agencies across Manchester, Merseyside, and Yorkshire provide complete specialist training, clinical guidance, and 24/7 support every step of the way.
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.
