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.
Healthcare is a 7 day service and therefore the expectation will be for you to support weekend working.
Interviews for this role will be conducted in person to assess relevant skills effectively.
The role involves;
- Networking with Clinical specialists within other fields and throughout the NWA Trust to streamline and progress services.
- To work closely with the wider MDT on Critical Care to develop OT service provision in Critical Care, including early rehab, orientation and functional rehab.
- Assisting the MDT, including therapists with the rehabilitation, discharge planning or onward referrals of complex patients on the wards.
- Taking an active role in and support the skill development of staff working on our wards, including junior OT staff and Degree Apprentices
