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 work collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary team in our client’s Someone to Talk to Service to provide excellent, safe, responsive, and impactful counselling support to young people aged 13-25 who are experiencing a range of mental health and emotional difficulties. Your role will include undertaking ‘first contact’ sessions and follow up calls with young people and delivering short-term counselling to a caseload of young people. You will be confident assessing and managing risk and safeguarding concerns and making onward referrals or liaising with other professionals as appropriate. You will support the wider work of the team, and the continuous development of the service. You will also represent and promote needs of young people in relevant networks or initiatives.
