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.

- Conducting focused functional assessments using clinical reasoning and critical questioning
- Writing high-quality, detailing clinical reports for DWP case submissions
- Reviewing evidence, seeking additional data, and clinically triaging cases
- Collaborating with seasoned clinical colleagues to ensure fair and thorough assessments
You’ll work within a familiar clinical context but expand your expertise in an administrative-support capacity, adding valuable experience to your career portfolio.
Are you ready to combine your clinical experience with a structured career path towards DWP accreditation?
