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 client has a full programme of activities and likes to keep busy, which includes voluntary work, active sporting and PT sessions as well as various leisure activities! Due to his brain injury, he requires support with daily living, including arranging and accessing appointments, partaking in social activities and outings, menu planning along with preparation and generally building skills to live as independently as possible in his own home.
You will become part of a friendly, close-knit team who benefit from support and encouragement from a caring and understanding family network, who all work collaboratively to ensure the client is living a fulfilled and enriched life.
Our client can struggle with concentration and initiation, therefore it’s important to maximise independence, provide a structured approach and to engage in meaningful activities, ensuring the client’s schedule is maintained.
