About Grandma’s Soup
Grandma’s Soup is a social enterprise with a simple but powerful mission: to reduce loneliness among older adults through cooking and connection.
The initiative is inspired by the Dutch social enterprise Oma’s Soep. In the Netherlands, Oma’s Soep has grown rapidly with student-led boards in 14 cities. They deliver weekly soup packages, and run social initiatives that foster connection across generations. Surplus vegetables are used to create soups, reducing food waste while generating funds through sales in supermarkets and cafés to sustain and expand the social impact.
We are now bringing this model to the UK, starting with London, and are looking for motivated student entrepreneurs to help build and shape our first UK chapter. This is a hands-on leadership opportunity where you’ll help design, launch, and grow a social enterprise that makes a real difference in people’s lives.
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.
