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.
Assessment of fitness to drive and passenger assessment are dynamic and evolving fields which require a commitment to professional excellence, a proven record of continued professional development, as well as an ambition to develop your career within a specialist clinical service.
Based at Walkergate Park Hospital in Newcastle and working flexibly between our outreach bases in Carlisle and Teesside 1-2 times per week, this is an opportunity to become part of a busy, specialist assessment team. You will also be trained to conduct specialist passenger/access, in-car safety, and powered wheelchair/mobility scooter assessments as you develop into your role.
You will have an ability to communicate effectively with service users, health professionals and major stakeholders including DVLA, Motability and the police, as well as having a passion for developing services in line with service user and stakeholder needs.
You will be able to apply your clinical expertise to assess practical function during on-road assessment whilst accompanied by an Approved Driving Instructor. You will ideally have experience of working with a range of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions and will be able to deliver critical recommendations to clients related to their driving ability.
