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 Specialty Doctor plays a key role in ensuring medical team input into the Board Round meeting / MDT which takes place twice daily on each ward. This is a ward based, mini-MDT in which the treatment and discharge plan for each patient on the ward is reviewed with a view to eliminating bottlenecks and nontreatment related delays.
The post holder will assist in teaching and supervising the FY2 and FY1 and IMT1/2 in practical procedures and in their clinical learning.
