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.

Care & Support Skills And Experience
- Ideally, you have experience in the care sector and working with older people or other vulnerable members of a community, so you will understand and have an appreciation of their needs and know how to meet these.

- An SVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care or a commitment to achieve this qualification is also required to comply with the registration/timescale requirements of the SSSC.
