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.
About You
Although it would be great if you do have experience in care, it's not essential as we recruit on values and transferable skills. We’re looking for people who are enthusiastic, creative and willing to get involved in the things they enjoy.
What we'll need you to bring:
- Good, clear communication skills (both verbal and written)
- A caring attitude
- Respect for boundaries and people's homes
- A positive approach to learning
- An understanding of the importance of routines and following guidelines
- Confidence in the use of computers
The brothers have barriers to their communication, so it's essential that you bring an excellent grasp of the English language.
Shift Patterns
As we're dedicated to providing the best support that is tailored to the needs of each individual, these opportunities will involve working early mornings, days and evenings. Waking nights, weekends and public holidays would also form part of your rota on a rotational basis.
Why you'll love it here
- You'll have a meaningful job doing things that you enjoy - it often doesn't feel like work
- No uniform - we wear our own casual clothes
- We fund up to £500 towards driving lessons
- We reimburse your SSSC registration and PVG fees
- Access to professional development and career progression opportunities
- Recommend a colleague bonus scheme
- Access to a 24/7 independent employee assistance helpline
- 26 days annual leave (rising by 5 days after 5 years) plus 4 paid bank holidays
- Family friendly leave options, including family, parental, bereavement and special leave
- Access to lots of discounts, including the cinema, gym memberships, holidays and shopping
