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.
We’re also continuing to invest in the practice, with plans to expand and double our floor space next year, creating an even better environment for our colleagues and patients.
The Roles
Both opportunities are 40 hours per week, offering:
- 4-day working week, 9am to 7pm
- 1 in 6 weekends
- Saturday: 9am to 5pm
- Sunday: 10am to 4pm
- Flexible working options available
- A strong focus on maintaining a healthy work-life balance
We’re looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon, ideally with at least 5 years’ experience, who enjoys a varied caseload and working collaboratively within a supportive team.
There’s also plenty of scope to develop your clinical interests, including the opportunity to explore or build experience in exotics.
Most importantly, we’d love someone who wants to play an active part in the continued growth and development of the practice.
Meet the Team
You’ll be working alongside our passionate clinical practice owners and a fantastic team of:
- 5 Vets
- 3 RVNs
- 3 SVNs
- 2 Veterinary Care Assistants
- 4 Receptionists
It’s a close-knit environment where your ideas are welcomed, your voice is heard and your development is encouraged.
