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.
You will be expected to communicate complex, sensitive and sometimes contentious information clearly and confidently, both verbally and in writing. Building constructive working relationships with providers, colleagues and external stakeholders.
This post will be within our team regulating the Independent Healthcare Sector. Applications are welcomed from healthcare and public health professionals. However, to maintain the skill mix of the team, we are particularly keen to hear from those with a clinical background, associated professional body membership, and experience in any specialties of nursing, quality assurance, and the regulation of care and healthcare services.
