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.

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 Clinical Doctoral Fellowship will focus on co-development and evaluation of an integrated physical health service for older people with complex mental health problems, spanning inpatient and community settings. Plans are directly aligned with national policy priorities as set out in the NHS 10-Year Plan, including the forthcoming Frailty and Dementia Modern Service Framework (MSF) and Mental Health MSF. The exact content of the Fellowship and a bespoke doctoral training plan will be developed with the successful candidate, drawing on collective expertise and through appropriate training courses to meet the needs of the individual clinical doctoral fellow. The successful candidate will join a vibrant cohort of PhD students in a highly interdisciplinary environment, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and networking in anticipation of a steep clinical academic career trajectory.
