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.
Act as a consistent point of contact across the cancer pathway, developing therapeutic relationships to ensure patients and families feel informed, supported, and involved in decisions. Advocate for patient preferences to maintain personalised, responsive care.
Deliver independent nurse-led clinics, providing cancer diagnoses, follow-up information, and support through complex and emotive discussions. Complete comprehensive assessments across treatment, follow-up, survivorship, and supportive care, identifying priorities and delivering specialist advice aligned with individual goals.
Use expert clinical judgement to triage needs, initiate timely interventions, and escalate to the MDT when required. Request and interpret investigations, making autonomous decisions regarding follow-up or referral.
Use digital systems for real-time management and oversee the GI surveillance platform, reviewing results, identifying patients needing escalation, and ensuring continuity and safety.
Maintain high-quality, evidence-based care and contribute to audit, service improvement, education, and mentorship to support consistent, high-standard practice.
