Job Description

We are looking for an experienced, motivated practice manager to lead our Sydenham practice and continue delivering the outstanding level of care our patients know and trust.
At R Woodfall, we pride ourselves on exceptional customer service, clinical excellence, and a genuine, personal approach to eye care. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives in a patient-focused environment and is ready to take ownership of a busy, well-established practice.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
