Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar

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 role requires expertise in both minor illness and minor injury management. However, if the successful candidate requires additional support, education, or clinical upskilling in a particular area of practice, this will be provided.
Typical Decisions the Post Holder Will Make Independently Include
- Assessing patients presenting with minor illness or injury, determining the most appropriate treatment plan, and deciding whether the patient can be managed within the Urgent Treatment Centre or requires referral to an alternative service.
- Requesting, interpreting, and acting upon investigations such as point-of-care testing and limited x-rays, using expert clinical judgment to inform diagnosis and treatment decisions.
- Identifying patients who require escalation of care and making timely decisions regarding referral to specialist services, emergency departments, or other healthcare professionals.
