At Nova Care Group, we're looking for people who are ready to use their people skills to make a lasting difference in a rewarding new career.
Whether you've worked in retail, hospitality or another customer-facing role, you'll already know how to communicate with different people, stay calm under pressure, solve problems and provide great support. With the right training and guidance, these skills can make you an excellent Support Worker, helping to build positive relationships, create a safe and stable environment, and support young people to achieve their potential.
The young people we support have been through a lot and often communicate through behaviours that others may find challenging. But for us, that's not the full picture. Behind every behaviour is a story, potential and an opportunity to make a lasting difference.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
