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

As part of our central Personal Tutor Team, you will:
- Play a central role in improving attendance, punctuality and learner engagement
- Build strong, trusted relationships that enhance wellbeing, confidence and belonging
- Contribute to a consistent and professional pastoral model across the college.
What We’re Looking For
We’d love to hear from you if you are:
- A strong communicator, confident building rapport with young people and families
- Organised, reliable and able to follow clear processes
- Compassionate, calm and solution-focused when supporting learners
- Passionate about personal development, wellbeing and inclusion
- Enthusiastic about working in a team where no day is the same
Experience in education, youth work, mentoring, coaching or pastoral support is beneficial, but what matters most is your commitment to making a positive impact.
