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 a key member of the Housing Management Team, you'll work to maintain our person centred approach to Housing and advocate for our residents both internally and externally.
What We're Looking For
- Driving licence and access to a car essential.
- A solutions focused individual who can manage their work in partnership with others, as well as working alone.
- A compassionate and pragmatic approach to placing individuals in appropriate accommodation to meet their needs.
- Someone who understands supported housing and the complexities this can bring when working with vulnerable adults.
