- Collaboration: Working alongside a multidisciplinary team of teachers and therapists to ensure every child feels safe and understood.
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.
What We’re Looking For
- Resilience: You stay cool under pressure and understand that challenging behavior is usually a form of communication.
- Empathy: You can see the world through the eyes of a neurodivergent young person.
- Energy: You’re ready to be active, get involved, and bring a positive vibe to the classroom.
- Experience: Previous experience in SEN (Special Educational Needs) is a plus, but we value attitude and transferable skills above all else.
