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.
As a Mentor, you'll use our Relational Mentoring approach to build trusted relationships with people both in custody and in the community. You'll work alongside probation and prison colleagues to understand each person's goals, identify barriers to progress and connect them with the right support at the right time.
Every day is different. Whether you're helping someone rebuild family relationships, improve their wellbeing, access housing, employment or community services, you'll play a vital role in helping people move forward with confidence.
