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.
- Confidence supporting practical, hands-on learning (construction/engineering knowledge desirable but not essential)
- A good standard of English and mathematics, with the ability to reinforce literacy and numeracy within sessions
- Experience delivering or supporting employability and personal development sessions
- Strong communication skills and the ability to engage young people from diverse backgrounds
- Patience, empathy and professional boundaries
- Confidence managing small groups and maintaining a structured environment
- Flexibility and adaptability within a small but growing organisation
- A positive attitude and enthusiasm for working with vulnerable young people, including those with SEN and Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs)
A background in construction, engineering, youth work or vocational education would be advantageous.
