Our ambition is to build a service that Local Authorities, professionals and families can place their confidence in—one recognised for its integrity, professionalism and commitment to improving outcomes for children and their families.
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.

- Previous experience as a Responsible Individual
- A strong understanding of Ofsted regulations, safeguarding and governance.
- Experience supporting regulated services through registration, inspection and ongoing compliance.
