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.
You’ll help people turn their choices into reality, whether that’s trying new activities, developing new skills, building confidence, or simply enjoying time in the community. You’ll also provide practical support with everyday responsibilities, such as paying bills, maintaining their home, being a good neighbour, and staying connected with friends and family.
Most importantly, you’ll help make everyday remarkable by creating opportunities for enjoyment, connection, and independence, while celebrating the small moments that make a real difference. It’s a varied, rewarding, and genuinely people-focused role where no two days need to be the same.
No experience required as full training is provided. We’d love to hear from you if you:
- Have patience and empathy
- Can support a person with their intimate personal care with respect and dignity
- Have strong communication and teamwork skills
- Are able to speak on behalf of others as well as to a range of professional people
- Have good written skills and the ability to record events with empathy and meaning
- Have a full driving licence - essential for transporting individuals to appointments and activities
- Have access to your own car and are happy to use this for transporting people we support to and from activities as well as obtaining business insurance for your vehicle for which we pay 55p per mile to cover this
- Being fluent in Welsh is preferred so you can effectively communicate with Welsh-speaking service users and meet their cultural and linguistic needs
