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.
There is a very strong ethos of multidisciplinary team working within the hospital so it is important that any candidate for this role has a collaborative approach to medical practice and ideally experience of working within a MDT with physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing colleagues and other Allied Health Professionals.
Important Notes
The post does not have educational approval from the Postgraduate Dean and will not be recognised for training.

AI Tools and Application Authenticity
AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can be great for planning and preparing your application—but your answers must be your own.
- Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically.
- Use AI wisely: It’s fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don’t let it write your answers.
- Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.
- Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you—not an AI tool.
