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.
Duties Will Include
- Personal care support, including assistance with dressing, bathing/showering and oral hygiene
- Supporting Cath with meal preparation and eating meals
- Prompting and assisting with medication
- Light household duties and cleaning
- Providing companionship and emotional support
- Supporting safe community access, including walks and outings
About You
The ideal candidate will:
- Have a good understanding of Alzheimer's disease, particularly the later stages
- Be patient, caring and respectful
- Be comfortable assisting with all aspects of personal care and daily living
- Be reliable and trustworthy
- Be willing to support both at home and on occasional outings

Additional Information
There is a friendly Staffordshire Bull Terrier in the home, so applicants must be comfortable around dogs. Hours are currently 5 per week, comprising 3 hours of Personal Assistant support and 2 hours of cleaning support. There will be the opportunity for additional hours if the right person is found, and more hours are wanted.
This is an opportunity to make a genuine difference to someone's quality of life while providing valuable support to a person living with dementia in their own home.
