Job Description
We are a busy Emergency Department treating on average 50,000 patients a year. We are looking for a Band 6 Nurse Team Leader to work within the Accident and Emergency Department at the Conquest Hospital. There is no guessing what the day might bring.

About the Role
The patient will be at the centre of everything you do. We are looking for a highly skilled and accomplished individual who is well motivated and committed to high standards of patient care and personal professional development. The successful candidates at Band 6 will be able to demonstrate that they can manage a dedicated team to deliver nursing care of the highest standards to our patients, while working under pressure. A minimum of 2 years post-qualification experience in an Emergency Unit setting is essential as is Mentorship Level 3 or the equivalent NH330 and NA371 or equivalent. A qualification in Mental Health nursing would be an advantage.
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.
