About the Role
Are you passionate about making a positive, meaningful difference in the lives of older adults?
We are seeking caring individuals who align with our values and want to help older people live their lives on their terms. Join our team and support others in finding dignity, kindness, and compassion in their daily lives.
Our organisation provides care across 16 residential homes and 13 day centres, supporting over 1,000 adults in Lancashire—including those living with dementia.
Our Mission
"To be the best quality service, safely supporting older people with kindness, dignity, care, and compassion to live their life their way."
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?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
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.
