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.
What You'll Be Doing
Every day is different, but every day you'll leave work knowing you've made a real difference.
You'll support people to remain independent in their own homes by:
- Providing personal care with dignity, kindness and respect
- Preparing meals and encouraging healthy nutrition
- Supporting with medication
- Helping with light household tasks
- Providing companionship and meaningful conversation
- Supporting customers with shopping, appointments and daily routines
- Building trusted relationships with customers and their families
Sometimes the most important part of your visit isn't completing a task—it's taking the time to listen, share a conversation and brighten someone's day.

This Role Is Ideal For People Who
- Want to begin a career in health or social care
- Are considering nursing, occupational therapy, social work, paramedic science or other healthcare professions
- Want meaningful work that fits around family, studies or another job
- Enjoy helping others and building relationships
- Are looking for rewarding work where no two days are the same
- Want to gain valuable care experience with full training provided

More Than Just a Job
The care you provide helps people remain safe, independent and happy in the place they call home.
You'll finish each shift knowing you've made a genuine difference—whether that's helping someone start their evening comfortably, sharing a laugh over a cup of tea, or simply being someone they can rely on.
