Location: Ash Green, Aldershot
Hours: 4 hours on a Saturday morning (plus an extra 4 hours on another day during school holidays – 13 weeks per year).
We are a warm and welcoming family looking for a kind, reliable Personal Assistant to support our son, Dominic, on Saturday mornings for 4 hours each week and an extra 4 hours on another day (flexible) during school holidays.
No previous care experience is required — just patience, energy, and a genuine wish to make a positive difference.
About Dominic
Dominic is a bright, active 5-year-old who loves getting out and about. He enjoys doing his regular activities, and spending time outdoors. He can be a flight risk when out, so we are looking for someone who is vigilant and confident supporting him safely.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
