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.
This is a great opportunity to make a difference, and you will be joining a flexible and responsive Housing Team where we work collectively to get the job done.
Who we are looking for…
The successful candidate will be an enabler, have experience of working within a housing service or a similar front line customer focused role. If you are super organised with excellent communication skills, can engage appropriately with vulnerable adults and families, we’d love to hear from you.
