Hosted by Doncaster Care Group – working across RDaSH

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Allied Health Professional to take on a pivotal leadership role supporting mental health inpatient services across RDaSH.

This is a Trust-wide role, hosted within the Doncaster Care Group, but with responsibility and impact across the full RDaSH footprint. The post holder will be expected to work flexibly across sites and care groups, supporting services wherever needed to deliver consistent, high-quality AHP practice.

About The Role

As AHP Lead for Mental Health Inpatients, you will play a key role in establishing consistent, high-quality AHP pathways across our acute directorates. You will provide professional leadership for AHPs working in inpatient settings, ensuring services are aligned to best practice, national standards and local priorities.

This is a clinical leadership role with a strong operational focus. You will maintain a clinical caseload and spend a significant proportion of your time in patient-facing activity, supporting complex cases and providing specialist input across inpatient wards.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
