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 be expected to provide specialist interventions, advice, consultancy and supervision to both colleagues and colleagues within external partner agencies in line with THRIVE.
As the post is identified within the CYPMH strategy, it is expected the role will continue to develop in line with national and local initiatives.
