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.

Is this role right for you?
Many clinicians find the role of a Functional Assessor rewarding, but it’s also challenging at the same time and it’s not the right fit for everyone.
This role would suit someone who:
- Thrives on service excellence in a high performing working environment that offers structure and the opportunity to use your clinical skills in a different way.
- Is open to a formalised programme of training to become a DWP approved Functional Assessor.
- Is receptive to ongoing constructive feedback, ensuring our claimants continually get the very best experience.
- Has confidence in their ability to use computers and in learning different software packages to complete detailed, high-quality reports for all claimants assessed.
This role may not be the best match for you if:
- You are not comfortable using or are unfamiliar with technology.
- You dislike writing detailed reports.
- You prefer a more hands on approach to clinical care.
- You’re not looking for a new direction nor a period of retraining into a new role.
- You don’t enjoy working in an environment with targets.
- You are not looking for a role that requires you to work on site for some or all of your working week.
