Introduction
We’re looking for a friendly and outgoing waiter/waitress to join our team and become a valued part of day-to-day life in our home Brook View in West Moors, Ferndown.

You'll support the chef by delivering their tasty delights from the nutritious daily menu using fresh local produce and ingredients, helping make a meaningful difference to the health and well-being of our residents each and every day.

Our catering roles are wide and varied, and there are many other exciting roles within the home that play an important part of day-to-day life for our residents, so who knows where this exciting journey may lead?
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.
