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 ideally have:
- RCVS registered
- Experience working in small animal practice
- Strong clinical and communication skills
- A genuine passion for patient and client care
- The ability to support, motivate and develop colleagues
- Excellent organisational and leadership skills
- A proactive and positive approach to clinical and practice development
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Previous leadership or mentoring experience would be beneficial, but support will be available for the right candidate.
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is kind, collaborative and passionate about veterinary medicine, and who wants to make a positive difference to both patients and the people they work alongside.
Why Join Us?
We believe your career should be about more than a rota and a job title. We want to create an environment where you feel supported, valued and able to thrive.
You'll be joining a team that values collaboration, clinical excellence and a healthy work-life balance, with opportunities to develop your leadership skills and pursue your own clinical interests.
If you're ready to take the next step in your veterinary career and make a real difference as a clinical leader, we'd love to hear from you.
