You will be working 35 hours per week, over 5 days, Monday - Friday.
Reporting to the Independent Living Manager

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.
You will also provide advice and guidance on accessing financial support, including housing-related benefits, and signpost or refer residents to appropriate services such as assistive technology, property adaptations, or additional support where needed. As part of your day-to-day responsibilities, you will:
- Carry out scheme inspections
- Ensure health and safety standards are met
- Monitor contractor performance to maintain high service delivery standards
As this is a floating role, flexibility to travel across schemes in the Cheltenham region is essential. A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle is required. Mileage expenses are reimbursed at 45p per mile for business travel.
