What will your responsibilities be?

Supporting Foster Carers

  • Recruit, assess, and support foster carers to ensure they provide safe, loving, and enriching homes.
  • Deliver regular supervision, guidance, and training to foster carers.
  • Help carers meet their development goals and achieve their Training, Support & Development Standards.

Championing Children’s Wellbeing

  • Attend placement planning meetings and contribute to care plans.
  • Ensure children’s voices are heard and their needs are met.
  • Support transitions to independence and contribute to Pathway Plans.

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.
