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

The Person
Previous experience in multi-track serious injury cases is essential, but extensive experience in TBI cases is not essential as training shall be provided. Experience of cases involving clinical negligence and other complex issues of causation such as chronic pain, is highly desirable given the complex nature of our work. What is of paramount importance is you answered ‘yes’ to the above questions and pride yourself on your excellent interpersonal, communication and relationship management skills with a desire to continue to learn. We focus on very low caseloads and supporting the whole family together with developing relationships in the healthcare and third sector. You will obviously be well organised and show initiative and attention to detail, but you really do need to have the compassion to help those who have been affected by brain injury and an enthusiasm to learn and to make a difference to clients and their families’ lives. Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Low-volume, high-value caseload of TBI cases.
- Managing caseload of TBI (with potential opportunities also available in Clinical Negligence) cases.
- Conducting home and hospital visits to clients and their families as required. We act for clients nationally.
- Helping to build our reputation and promote our values.
- Other such duties commensurate with the post.
