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.
Ideal Candidates
These are ideal posts for adaptable, creative practitioners who are looking for opportunities to develop clinical leadership skills and further their specialism within mental health.
Postholders will be skilled and experienced mental health practitioners who can take on complex cases. They must show evidence of understanding the Community Mental Health Team. This is a busy team environment where no two days are the same, requiring a high level of problem-solving and organization. The postholder will be able to supervise others in applying the 6Cs within acute care, understand governance issues, and have knowledge of current evidence-based practice.
