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.
Responsibilities
The post holder will support the Clinical Nurse Specialist to be the key worker for all patients with breast cancer and will work closely with the Oncology Consultants, Oncology CNS, at Mount Vernon cancer centre to provide advice and support to patients.
