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.
To Be Successful In This Role You Should Have
- A relevant degree, master’s or equivalent professional experience in Sport & Exercise Science, Sport Therapy or related field.
- Professional experience of working in areas relevant to exercise rehabilitation, prehabilitation or clinical exercise physiology.
- Up-to-date, sound knowledge of current developments in exercise and health.
- Understanding of academic and award standards and the range and level of knowledge and skills, both subject-specific and generic, which the programme is intended to foster.
- Experience of implementing creative approaches to developing teaching and learning.
- Competent in relevant learning technologies for effective use in teaching, learning and assessment.
A relevant PhD in Sport & Exercise Science, or related field, and an active research portfolio and publication record are desirable, but by no means essential
