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 passion in the team to work creatively and inclusively with service users who are often from socially and culturally diverse backgrounds and to work in a flexible way to support the wards to become psychologically safer environments that are trauma-informed. We also want to promote a trauma-informed approach to supporting staff working in In-Patient settings, and this includes supporting staff who experience racism and other forms of discrimination.
We are looking for a highly skilled clinician who has experience in working with individuals with the full range of mental health problems, assessing and co-developing formulations that can inform service users’ care and treatment.
There are opportunities to work collaboratively with Trust-wide research projects and, where possible, we try to support team members to have training in modalities that are effective in In-Patient care. You will be expected to contribute to service development initiatives and their evaluation by audit and research work as required to support and enable the service’s ongoing improvement.
