About the Role

Are you passionate about making a difference in children's lives? Do you thrive in a dynamic environment, where your actions can directly shape a child's future?

If so, we are currently looking for an experienced Social Worker with 3+ Years post qualification experience to join a locality court team based in South Wales.

This is a great chance to join an established and stable team combined with both short and long term manageable cases. You will be working directly with children & families to assess needs, offer guidance, and implement care plans. Furthermore, you will be providing support through complex child care proceedings, ensuring the welfare and safety of the child is at the forefront of all decisions.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
