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.

As part of our central Personal Tutor Team, you will:

- 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
