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 We Ask For
We are looking for warm, welcoming households that can offer a safe and comfortable living environment for our academy players. It’s important that our host families respect the privacy and needs of young athletes, providing a supportive atmosphere that encourages their personal and athletic growth. Flexibility and good communication are essential, as is a genuine willingness to help players integrate into family life and the local community. Above all, we seek families who are committed to creating a positive, encouraging environment that will help our players thrive both on and off the pitch.
