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.

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.
You’ll receive dedicated support from our in-house Endoscopy Lead, access to bespoke training courses, and a comprehensive induction programme. Become part of a dedicated, collaborative team that fosters mutual support and operates with respect and dignity at all times.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable, but Welsh and English speakers are both equally welcome.
