About our Client
This young adult suffers from an unknown neuromuscular disorder which affects her mobility. She uses a powered wheelchair most days but sometimes will use crutches when feeling up to it.

Your responsibilities will encompass every aspect of daily life to ensure their comfort and quality of life.
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.
As written by her...
I really enjoy going out and about with my friends at the weekend or just meeting up somewhere on campus during the week. I would say that as a person, I am extremely sarcastic and have a very good sense of humour but, I can also be very blunt and take things as too literal, which has made some amusing situations.
I would like someone who is caring and compassionate as well as funny to cheer me up or just be an ear to listen when I need to rant.
I will need a helping hand with all household chores and food prep as I absolutely love cooking and baking when I have the time between studying, but this is all explained in my care plan.
As much as I love chemistry, I will sometimes need help to motivate me to do my assignments as well as a scribe for when I have to watch video lectures before my actual lecture, as well as help to organise myself, medication, etc
I have passed my driving test but I do not yet have a car that has been adapted for me to drive, so unfortunately our main transport until then will be buses, with the occasional train.
I look forward to meeting you
