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.
What We're Looking For
- Qualified or trainee PWP with a recognised PWP qualification (or working towards it)
- Strong understanding of low-intensity CBT-based interventions
- Experience working within Talking Therapies / IAPT frameworks
- Ability to manage a caseload effectively and work within structured clinical pathways
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- Commitment to collaborative, multidisciplinary working
- Confidence in risk assessment and safe practice within a secure setting
- Commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusive practice
This is a role where structure meets purpose. Every day, you'll be working with people who may feel stuck or overwhelmed, helping them take practical, manageable steps towards change. Within a secure setting, your support can be a steady point of connection, helping individuals build insight, confidence, and coping strategies they can carry beyond the service.
If you're motivated by meaningful clinical work, enjoy working as part of a supportive team, and want to make a tangible difference in people's mental health journeys, this role offers a unique and impactful opportunity.
All prison-based roles are subject to enhanced DBS checks and HMPPS security vetting. These checks can take up to 5 months to complete. Any offer of employment will be conditional upon the successful completion of both checks.
