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.
Integrated Care
Core to the organisational strategy of Wye Valley NHS Trust is working with partners to provide integrated care to deliver better outcomes for our population and best value for the ‘Herefordshire public sector pound’. Realising the ambition of integrated care has been reinforced by the Health and Care Bill. This restructures the NHS into Integrated Care Systems and the Trust is a member of the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Integrated Care System.
About Our Foundation Group
Established in 2011, Wye Valley NHS Trust was established on 1 April 2011. This followed extensive stakeholder engagement with our colleagues in health, social care, and the third sector. The Trust was England’s first integrated provider of acute, community, and adult social care services bringing together Hereford Hospitals NHS Trust, NHS Herefordshire’s Provider Services (excluding Mental Health), and Herefordshire Council’s Adult Social Care services (under a Section 75 arrangement). The Section 75 arrangement with Herefordshire Council ended in September 2013 and the Trust no longer provides adult social care.
In 2017 a ‘Foundation Group’ was created in partnership with South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust (SWFT) and Wye Valley NHS Trust (WVT). In 2018 George Eliot Hospitals NHS Trust (GEH) joined the Group and Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust joined the Trust in 2023. All four organisations face similar challenges and have a common strategic vision for how these can be solved. The Foundation Group model retains the identity of each individual trust whilst strengthening the opportunities available to secure a sustainable future for local health services.
