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 pace of work means you need to be organised and resilient but most of all you will care about the people we are working with.
The Role
You will be supporting a visually impaired Social Worker to enable them to carry out their duties efficiently, effectively, and safely, including accompanying them to visits and meetings with service users where there may be issues to deal with which are sensitive and of potential conflict.
You will have experience of working in an administrative setting and have the ability to use a variety of software packages, in particular Microsoft Office.
It is essential that you have the ability to put visual information into words and be able to understand and explain non-verbal communications e.g., body language.
Travel is an essential part of this job and therefore it would be extremely difficult for you to do your job effectively if you did not use a car for all or most of the time. It is essential that you hold a full and valid driving licence, and it is expected that you will either use a council vehicle or your own car. Exceptions may be made for disabled applicants.
