It is essential that you hold a full, clean, UK driving licence and are confident to drive different vehicles. You will be supporting people to access community activities using their vehicles and this is a requirement of the role.
Looking for a job that's rewarding, varied and genuinely fun?
Could you see yourself supporting someone at a disco, helping them volunteer in their community, enjoying a trip to the cinema, attending an art group, going bowling, gardening, or helping them achieve a personal goal they've been working towards?
About Us
We support five adults with learning disabilities to live active, independent and fulfilling lives in their own homes. No two days are the same, and we're looking for someone who shares our passion for helping people live the lives they choose.
Driving & Community Access
An essential and rewarding part of this role involves driving the people we support out into the community, helping them access local activities and take part in the things they enjoy.
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.
To be considered for this position, it is essential that you hold a full, clean UK driving licence and feel comfortable and confident driving larger or unfamiliar vehicles.
We understand that driving a new vehicle can feel daunting at first. To help you feel completely at ease, we provide dedicated support, guidance, and practice time before you begin driving our residents.
Please note: Because we have an immediate need to fill this post and want to get our new team member settled quickly, confidence in driving is a core, non-negotiable requirement from day one. If you do not meet these driving criteria, we kindly ask that you look out for our other non-driving vacancies in the future.
