We are looking for a reliable and well-organised Team Leader to join a small, established team supporting a young man with complex needs in his own home.
He is active and sociable, and requires consistent, well-judged support to remain safe and maintain his independence. This is a hands-on role, working alongside the team while also maintaining clear oversight of how support is delivered.
You will act as a link between the family and the team — ensuring agreed approaches are followed in practice, maintaining consistency, and feeding back clearly on what is working well and where adjustments are needed. You will not be working alone; this is a structured team environment.
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.
