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.
Qualifications
- Experience working with children or young people (schools, nurseries, sports coaching, care, or youth work).

- Strong communication skills and a patient, supportive approach.
- An Enhanced DBS check registered on the Update Service (or willingness for one).
- Level 2 or Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification is a plus, but hands-on experience is equally valued.
