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.
The Role
As a Social Worker or Senior Social Worker within a Locality Team, you will:
- Undertake child and family assessments and manage children subject to child in need and child protection plans.

- Build purposeful and trusting relationships with children, young people, and families.
- Develop and review safety and support plans that reduce risk and promote family resilience.
- Prepare clear, analytical reports for conferences, reviews, and court where required.
- For Senior Social Workers: provide professional guidance, mentoring, and support to less experienced colleagues.
About You
You will be a committed and capable practitioner with:
- A recognised Social Work qualification and current Social Work England registration.
- Post-qualifying experience within Children's Social Care.
- Strong assessment, analytical, and decision-making skills.
- Confidence working with complexity, risk, and multi-agency partners.
