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.
- Providing personal care
- Helping with domestic duties (e.g. cooking)
- Being a great listener and providing emotional support
- Administering medications
- Helping the service users to access work, education or training.

You will support our service users to live as independently as possible and enjoy bringing a smile to their faces. You will be patient, understanding and have the ability to be able to nurture positive behaviour in the right way. For example, you may have to use restraint with a service user – but don’t worry if you haven’t got experience, we will provide all the training you require.
Previous experience of working with adults with social, emotional and mental health disorders is beneficial. However, full training and development will be provided. If this sounds like you – you’ll be a great addition to our friendly team!

We operate a busy and vibrant service so great communication skills are essential.
