We are seeking adaptable, passionate educators who excel at tailoring primary learning frameworks for pupils with diverse, complex needs (including ASC, ADHD, speech and language barriers, and SEMH).

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.
