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.
Successful candidates will be appointed at Band 2 or Band 3, depending on qualifications and experience. Candidates appointed to a linked Band 2/3 role must complete relevant competency requirements and obtain manager approval before Band 3 progression can be considered. Progression is subject to the availability of Band 3 vacancies and, where there is more than one interested candidate for a vacancy, may require participation in a competitive selection process.
Full training is provided; no previous experience as a Healthcare Support Worker is required.
