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.
In collaboration with the class teacher, you will support access to learning by offering clear visual scaffolds, step-by-step guidance, and structured routines. This includes helping the child plan and sequence tasks, using tools such as checklists, mind maps, reading windows, and sensory supports.
The role includes delivering daily literacy and phonics intervention, using approaches such as Precision Teaching, paired reading, Colourful Semantics, and Clicker 8. You will also support maths learning using interventions, pre-teaching, and the use of concrete and digital resources.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
A key element of the role will be developing the child’s social skills and emotional literacy, supporting friendship groups, facilitating restorative conversations, and helping the child reflect on challenges in a safe, structured way.
You will also help implement the child’s sensory plan, including daily regulation activities, fine motor development, and appropriate handwriting support.
Your work will contribute to long-term outcomes, including improved independence, academic progress in literacy and maths, emotional regulation, and confident participation in school life.
