About the Role
As a Personal Advisor, you will build positive and trusting relationships with young people, providing practical, emotional and social support tailored to their individual needs and aspirations. You will manage a caseload of Children in Care and Care Leavers, developing and reviewing Pathway Plans, advocating on their behalf, and helping them access the opportunities and services they need to thrive.

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.

- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
