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.
What We're Looking For
- Experience supporting people with substance misuse, mental health or complex needs.
- A passion for engaging young adults and promoting inclusive practice.
- Confidence delivering both one-to-one and group interventions.
- Excellent communication, organization and relationship-building skills.
- A collaborative, compassionate and solution-focused approach.
If you're ready to make a lasting impact by supporting young adults and creating more inclusive services, we'd love to hear from you.
