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.

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 provide high-quality wellbeing and/or mental health support to students through proactive and preventative interventions and campaigns, group sessions and events, and student one-to-one sessions. Our aim is to help students have positive experiences, feel included and valued, and ensure an integrated and consistent approach to wellbeing support across all university departments and colleges through delivery of a business partner model. The Student Wellbeing Partnership Service are responsible for facilitating the identification and support of students who may require short-term additional support at university, many of whom will be from non-traditional backgrounds or may have enhanced needs, to help ensure maximum student success.
Our team of Student Wellbeing Advisers are formed of a blend of roles with different skills and expertise. No prior qualifications are required, but we would like all team members to be prepared to undertake training for a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP) qualification or equivalent; this would be funded by the University. We would also welcome applications from those that feel they already hold appropriate qualifications.
