- Pamper days
- Football
- Live music at the local pub

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 lady we support does have her own mobility car, so we will need you to bring a full UK manual driving licence with a minimum of one year's experience on the roads.
Shift patterns
As we are dedicated to providing around the clock support that is tailored to the needs of each individual, shifts currently fall into patterns of early mornings, days and evenings. Weekends and sleepovers will also form part of your rota on a rotational basis.
Our sleepover shifts do not form part of your contracted hours. You will receive an additional payment of £107.60 for every sleepover shift that you work!
