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 work within a strong MDT (district nurses, health visitors, physiotherapy, pharmacy, and CTAC) and have excellent links with Borders General Hospital (10 minutes away).
We are also an active training practice (ANPs and due to start hosting FY2s soon).
What we offer
- Excellent work–life balance
- Competitive pay and generous leave
- Opportunity to develop specialist interests within the practice or locally if desired

Melrose (named in 'The Times' as one of the top places to live in the UK in 2026) offers high-quality rural living with easy access to Edinburgh (~1 hour)—great schools, strong community, and outstanding surroundings including the Eildon Hills and River Tweed.
