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.
This is a varied role that combines one-to-one counselling with wider service development. Alongside managing your own caseload, you'll contribute to wellbeing sessions, facilitate small group work, and help deliver training to professionals. You'll work closely with colleagues and external organisations to ensure people receive the support and information they need at the right time.
Working remotely via telephone, online platforms and Microsoft Teams, you'll be part of a supportive, experienced team committed to improving wellbeing and increasing access to emotional support for people with sight loss.
If you're passionate about helping people through life-changing experiences and want to use your counselling skills in a rewarding and meaningful role, we'd love to hear from you.
