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.
Depending on the situation and skill mix, the physiotherapist will supervise and advise less experienced registered and non-registered staff and may contribute to the development of teaching and learning programs within the team.
Where appropriate, they may take opportunities available for further education and develop interests to support and benefit the ward or department. There should be an understanding of a range of work procedures and practices, some of which are non-routine, which require a base level of theoretical knowledge. This is normally acquired through formal training or equivalent experience. Applicants must have current HCPC registration, or be a student in the process of obtaining registration imminently.
Car availability for work purposes and a valid UK driving license are required for community work. (Or be in the process of obtaining.)
