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 seek an organised professional with strong subject access, data protection, and redaction knowledge in mental health or NHS contexts.
- You must excel at attention to detail, workload prioritisation, and independent work while leading with compassion and respect.
- Strong communication, advanced IT skills (Microsoft Office, Adobe), and experience in training, auditing, and procedure development are essential, alongside a proactive approach to improvement and high-quality service.
