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 also play a key role in multi-agency working, representing the service at safeguarding forums, contributing to MARAC and child/adult safeguarding processes, and supporting continuous improvement through audits and service development.
The most important thing you’ll bring to this role is your ability to provide strong professional leadership and make defensible decisions in complex safeguarding situations, ensuring the people we support are protected and empowered.
