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.
The post holder will be part of the Manchester Homeless Mental Health Team and will work alongside council staff, drug and alcohol workers, police, and homeless outreach workers providing mental health support to rough sleepers both through drop-in clinics at day centres or directly on the street whilst working alongside outreach workers.
The post holder will be responsible for the assessment of mental health needs for homeless individuals who are not engaged with mainstream mental health services. The role will include active participation in the service planning and future development of the mental health support for homeless individuals within the Manchester district.
