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.

Planning days out is also encouraged, therefore a good knowledge of surrounding areas and external organisations is desirable.
This role aims to offer choice and empower the people living in the care home to create an enjoyable and social environment where we strive to ensure their individual outcomes are achieved.
What we are looking for from you:
- Experience within a similar role is desirable or previous experience in a caring environment
