We want to deliver outstanding eye care that’s accessible, sustainable and patient‑centred, complementing the NHS and providing choice for patients. And we want to do that in a way that creates long‑term value for our partners and communities.

- Drive performance and growth: Manage P&L, develop local relationships and grow NHS and private activity.
- Champion governance and patient experience: Uphold CQC standards, and ensure the delivery of safe, effective patient care with the best possible outcomes.
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 is a partnership role, not a traditional job — you’ll have a meaningful equity stake and the support of a proven operating model and central services.
Who we’re looking for
- Experienced operational or general management leaders (healthcare or similar regulated services).
- Strong people leadership and commercial acumen with experience managing budgets and P&L responsibility.
- A values‑driven approach to safety, patient experience and governance.
- Proven ability to work with Consultants/Doctors and lead large multidisciplinary teams.
- Solid understanding of CQC regulations, including the framework and what excellent governance looks like.
- Ability to operate both strategically and hands-on, switching between the two as needed.
- Experience within an ophthalmology or theatre setting is a bonus.
