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.
The role demands constructive, professional relationships with offenders—often at their lowest point. Success depends on teamwork, commitment to colleagues, and the collective responsibility to maintain a secure environment for both prison staff and inmates.
This is a shifts-based role, including weekends.
The Role in a Day

- Protecting the public
- Reducing reoffending
- Inspiring positive change
What You Can Gain
- Training & Development: Comprehensive on-the-job support and opportunities to specialise.
- Career Growth: Clear progression paths within HMPPS.
- Competitive Reward Package:
- Annual Salary: £33,746 - £38,003
