💙 About The Role: Respite Support & Day-to-Day Living
In this vital role, you will step in to provide temporary relief to primary caregivers. Your goal is to seamlessly maintain the service user's normal routine, ensuring their day-to-day living continues exactly as it would with their own family.
It is about creating a natural, comforting, and inclusive environment—whether that means sharing a meal, having a chat over a cup of tea, or heading out to the shops—so their regular caregivers can rest and recharge with true peace of mind.
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.
You will be supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism and autistic spectrum disorders, complex needs, mental health issues, and challenging behaviours. Your responsibilities will include:

🏡 Household Support: Cooking, meal preparation, laundry, and light housework to keep their home running smoothly.
🌳 Community Inclusion: Encouraging participation in hobbies, and assisting with community activities to broaden their horizons.
💊 Medication: Administration or assistance as directed by care plans.
