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.
This position is predominantly Monday to Friday; however, the postholder will be expected to work occasional evening, night and weekend shifts to provide service cover during annual leave, sickness absence and other staffing shortfalls. Enhanced pay is payable for eligible night and weekend shifts.
We are looking for candidates with good communication skills who are flexible, reliable and able to work well under pressure. Full training and induction will be provided, followed by ongoing support from experienced colleagues until you are fully competent in all aspects of the role, including relevant procedures and documentation.
A full driving licence is desirable, as you may be required to work at sites across Shetland.
You will be expected to comply with the Induction Standards and Code of Conduct for Healthcare Support Workers within 3 months of commencing your role details can be viewed on http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Resource/Doc/288863/0088362.pdf and http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Resource/Doc/288853/0088360.pdf
