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.
Please see the attached Job Description which details the person specification.
Appointment Details
This appointment will be made in accordance with the 2003 Consultant Contract Terms and Conditions.

This is a full-time 10PA post. However, applications for less than full-time work or job shares would also be welcomed. The successful applicants would join the medical on-call rota. This currently includes 1 in 8 weekends and 1 in 24 weekdays and overnight.
