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.
The work we do is incredibly varied, and our staff team come from a range of different backgrounds. We are looking for someone who is empathetic, patient, non-judgemental, resilience, and outcome-focused. Experience of working with children and young people is essential. You will be required to travel to meetings and events throughout Northumberland and due to the nature of the county, access to your own transport is needed.
If you are passionate about supporting young carers and want to make a real difference to their lives, we would love to hear from you.
