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.
You will need to have effective communication, negotiation, organisational and IT skills which are essential tools to aid developing flexible working practices. The team has adapted hybrid working, where you will be partly office and partly home-based working.
In return, you will receive plenty of support and training to help you reach your potential. We will provide regular formal and informal supervision due to the nature of the complex case work.
You Must Be
- Registered with Social Work England
- Experienced Social Worker
- Have effective communication, negotiation, organisational and IT skills
- Be committed to interprofessional collaborations with partner agencies
- Be able to work autonomously and have a high degree of resilience
- You must be able to drive and have use of a vehicle for work purposes (a taxi service will be provided where disability precludes this).
