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.

This role would suit a junior homelessness professional. It would be great if the successful candidate had some knowledge of the Homelessness Reduction Act but extensive experience, S184s, PHPs, and prevention work is not required.
Only applicants who are willing to work hybridly (2 days each week) in our client's office, can start on short notice, and are comfortable with the above criteria need apply for this role.
