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.
Previous experience of working with physically disabled pupils would be an advantage but it is not essential, as training will be given.
The post will involve working in class situations with other teaching assistants/learning and support assistants. Some of the work will concentrate on supporting individual pupils in those classes to enable them to access the school curriculum fully. It is essential that you are willing to be trained to administer medication.
