Mentor (Advocacy)

Preston – Hybrid (including visiting customers in the local community)
FTC until 31st March 2027
£25,664 + excellent benefits

In the heart of the community, there are people facing some of life’s toughest moments — struggling to keep up with energy bills, unsure where to turn, and desperately needing someone who will listen.

Someone patient.
Someone encouraging.
Someone who believes change is possible, even when people can’t see it for themselves.

That “someone” might just be you.

About the Role

As a Mentor (Advocacy), you’ll step into people’s lives at a pivotal moment. You’ll meet them face to face in their homes, in community spaces, or as a voice of reassurance over the phone. Your mission is to help them regain control, understand their options, and take meaningful steps toward a more stable future.

Every day, you’ll build trust, provide impartial guidance, and support customers through crisis including issuing and monitoring essential crisis fund payments. You’ll become a steady, reliable presence who helps people uncover their own strength and direction. You’ll work one‑to‑one with customers, tailoring advice and interventions to their specific challenges and you’ll forge professional relationships with energy suppliers and stakeholders, ensuring your customers are heard and supported. You’ll help individuals navigate their way through financial hardship, energy concerns, and personal barriers empowering them to find lasting solutions.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
