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.
For some Apprentices this can lead to higher level qualifications and to have the opportunity to work through to degree level.
Our Commitment to You
Our commitment to you includes a structured training plan, fully paid study time, professional support, and an opportunity to kick start your career within the NHS.
The Successful Applicant Will Be Supported To
- Complete the Care Certificate
- Develop the knowledge, skills, and employability skills and behaviours to achieve the Level 2 Health and Social Care Foundation Apprenticeship
- Achieve Functional Skills Level 1 and Level 2 in English and Maths where required
Apprentices are employed as an Apprentice and are paid an Apprenticeship wage for up to 12 months. If they achieve the Care Certificate, pass the probationary employment period, and pass their final assessments of the Apprenticeship, they will then move into a Band 2 Healthcare Support Worker post, within their clinical area. Failure to achieve the apprenticeship may result in termination of the post.
