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.
- Carry out quality assurance surveys on general plain x-ray equipment, dental x-ray equipment, mobile image intensifiers, and medical image display devices.
- Assist with quality assurance surveys on highly complex diagnostic imaging equipment such as fluoroscopy, CT, mammography, and other complex x-ray equipment.
- Produce written reports of the routine quality assurance (QA) surveys, and assist in producing reports on complex equipment. This involves the analysis and interpretation of the test results from the QC surveys. This may require further more complex tests/investigations if any problems are identified.
- Initially, this analysis will be undertaken on site to advise users if equipment fails or is dangerous. More complex analysis is undertaken back at University Hospital, sometimes using bespoke software, and a formal report will be generated, along with any recommendations to the users. This report will need to communicate complex information to non-technical users and also specific technical information to service engineers. The results should also be discussed with service users as required.
