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.
The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining infection prevention and control standards, preparing instruments and equipment, monitoring stock levels and ensuring dental units are fully equipped and compliant with Trust policies. The role also includes supporting patients who may be anxious or have additional communication needs, providing reassurance and promoting a positive patient experience.
You will work closely with Dental Sisters, Senior Dental Nurses and the wider clinical team, contributing to service improvement, clinical governance, audit and ongoing professional development. Flexibility, strong communication skills and the ability to work independently and as part of a team are essential for this role.
