Role Details
You will be a highly valued member of the team bringing your expertise and skills to a busy Ophthalmology department.

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.
Team and Training
- The SAS grade has 7 doctors consisting of one Associate specialist, and 6 specialty doctors.
- In addition, we have 2 specialty trainees (ST4-7) from South Yorkshire deanery. The SAS doctors and Trainees provide the first on-call cover at 1:9 rota currently.
- The service is committed to a strong training culture. Specialty Doctors rotate through a firm-based timetable and have protected theatre sessions. There is regular Consultant-led teaching on a Friday afternoon for which SPA time is allotted.
Support
- Secretarial support is provided at Bassetlaw Hospital, Montagu Hospital, and Doncaster Royal Infirmary.
