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.
Additional Care Support The role is supported by a second care professional who will attend four care calls each day to assist with hoisting and transfers.
Safe moving and handling is a key priority, and the Live-In Care Professional will be expected to work alongside the visiting care professional to ensure transfers and other moving-and-handling tasks are carried out safely and respectfully.
What We Are Looking For If you are a kind, dependable and caring person who takes pride in supporting others and would enjoy providing companionship alongside day-to-day care, we would love to hear from you.
