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.
Connor is small for his age, very active, and quick, which means safety awareness and close supervision are essential. He has Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), has no sense of danger, and wears a wrist strap and incontinence pads when out in the community.
Connor has a PEG for feeding. The PA will be required to follow all care and safety instructions related to this.
Connor is sensitive to noise and may become dysregulated in overwhelming situations. This can sometimes lead to aggressive behavior. He communicates discomfort through clear warning signs and benefits from calm support, space, and reassurance to help him self-regulate.
