Looking for a role where you can genuinely change someone’s life?
Gillespie Recruitment is working with a specialist care provider to recruit Supported Living Practitioners for an exciting new service in the Spennymoor area.
This is a unique opportunity to join a brand-new support team helping an individual with autism and learning disabilities transition into their own home and build a fulfilling, independent life. You’ll become part of a dedicated team where person-centred support, compassion, and positive outcomes are at the heart of everything you do.
Whether you’re an experienced Support Worker, Care Assistant, Autism Support Worker, Learning Disability Support Worker, or Supported Living Practitioner, we’d love to hear from you.
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.
