Would you like to make a difference to the most vulnerable children in care and help them flourish and achieve their potential?
Our Supported Accommodation service works to create and promote a positive environment for each young person in the independent living scheme. We are passionate about the provision of creative and ambitious opportunities for our young people, supporting them to thrive and develop in a nurturing and safe environment which promotes the emotional and physical well-being of children. Our services are well regarded, and we are proud of our reputation for not giving up on children with very complex backgrounds.
Our team work hard to improve the lives of the young people in our care. Our environment is unique, and the pressure is always on to keep ourselves and those in our care safe and successful.
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.
We need highly motivated, resilient and positive team members with humour, tenacity, and empathy to help our young people thrive. You may be new to the care profession or experienced and want a change. We value your life experiences, energy, personal strength, and positive mental attitude.
Our team work across the whole week (including weekends and bank holidays) and normally work a sleep-in shift (from 9:30 until 24:00 and then 07:00 until 10:00 the following morning), although other hours of work are also available. We need people who can join our team on a casual basis to help cover any staffing needs. There is always plenty of work if you want it.
Following a thorough induction and training programme, your duties will include:
- Developing personal and practical skills to enhance independent living skills.
- Positive engagement to encourage our young people in their development.
- Reporting and recording key aspects of care and developing your professional skills as part of on-going development.
- Managing complex behaviour that can be challenging.
