Can you inspire hope for the most vulnerable young people?
Whether you’re stepping into alternative education from mainstream, returning after a break or bringing years of valuable SEN experience, your skills can transform a young person’s future.

If you’re passionate about supporting learners with SEND and want a role where every day makes a difference, we would love to hear from you.
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.
