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 Impact You'll Make
As a Level 2 Teaching Assistant, you aren't just helping out: you are a vital part of a multi-disciplinary team. Your mission is to ensure every child has the best opportunity to reach their potential in a safe, caring environment.
Your Core Responsibilities Will Include
- Mentorship and Learning: Delivering tailored activities that reinforce key concepts under teacher guidance.
- Emotional Support: Adapting your responses to help students manage their behaviour and concentration levels.
- Advocacy: Taking a lead role in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of every pupil.

Who You Are
Whether you come from a background in care, youth work, or are a recent graduate, we value your transferable skills and can-do mindset.
- Educated and Eager: You hold GCSE Maths and English (Level 2). A Level 2 award in Supporting Teaching and Learning is great, but we will support you to work toward one if you don't have it yet.

- Tech Savvy: You possess competent ICT skills and a creative approach to problem-solving.
