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.
The successful candidate will have an in-depth knowledge of both the UK and Scottish Welfare Benefit systems and be able to deliver specialist welfare rights advice and support to people with caring responsibilities, their relatives and those they care for.

They will work closely with the existing Welfare Rights, Energy and Money Advice Service and with other community support services, ensuring a holistic person-centred approach.
