About Wiktoria

The family also have a lovely labrador dog. Wiktoria has learning disabilities and high functioning Autism, she is non-verbal and communicates by showing you her needs and wants, she can use some Makaton signs to assist her in communicating. Wiktoria relies on a buggy when she goes out into the community both to assist her and to keep her safe as she is prone to running away and has no sense of danger, she is still in nappies so you would be expected to carry out personal care duties as her personal assistant.
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.
Wiktoria requires her food to be blended or of a soft consistency as she struggles with textures and solids, as her personal assistant you would be expected to ensure her food is suitable for her to consume. Wiktoria does not engage in technology and prefers to entertain herself with crafts or shredding paper and toilet rolls, this can be a repetitive behaviour. She is a natural “water baby” and loves anything to do with water, she particularly enjoys swimming and the sensation of shower water, so she would love a personal assistant to help her attend the local swimming pools. She also enjoys music when she is in the mood.
