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.
About You
Previous experience in a similar role is essential; however, comprehensive training will be provided, including a recognised FREC3 – QA Level 3 certificate in First Response Emergency Care (RQF) qualification. We are seeking caring and compassionate individuals who are committed to treating patients with dignity and respect, and who will take pride in maintaining the ambulance to a high standard of cleanliness and presentation.
The role involves working as either a single or double crew, and therefore it is a requirement for you to hold a full UK manual driving licence with a minimum of 1 year driving experience and no more than 6 points on your licence. You will be using appropriate manual handling techniques to lift and manoeuvre patients, and therefore need to have a good level of physical fitness.
