Are you passionate about helping people live their best lives? Staffordshire County Council’s Provider Services team is looking for dedicated Support Facilitators to deliver person-centred reablement care in the community. You’ll be part of an innovative and empowering service that supports individuals to thrive in their own homes.

Our service runs 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and we need team members who can start early and work flexibly to meet the needs of those we support & staff availability from Monday through to Sunday. Applicants must live within 30 minutes of our base location ST13 6DW to ensure timely response and continuity of care.

This role requires travelling within the community, primarily Leek Moorlands, and so a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle is essential.

What We Offer

  • Full paid training and ongoing development to enable you to pursue your career aspirations
  • BLOCK pay, meaning you will be paid for the whole shift duration, including travel time
  • For travel, we will reimburse you at £.45/mile, paid from Leek Library.

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.
