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.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Dietitian to join our friendly and supportive Children and Young People’s Dietetic Service. This is an excellent opportunity to develop expertise in paediatric care, including working with children and young people living with diabetes.
Key Responsibilities
- Managing a specialist paediatric diabetes caseload
- Providing inpatient dietetic support within the Highland Children’s Unit
- Delivering outpatient clinics, including infant feeding allergy services
You will play a key role in supporting children, young people and their families to achieve the best possible health outcomes. While we would ideally welcome a dietitian with paediatric experience, we are equally keen to hear from those without prior experience, including newly qualified graduates. Comprehensive training and structured support will be provided to help you develop in the role.

Newly qualified dietitians will start at Band 5, with progression to Band 6 within 1–2 years on completion of competencies.
Who We Are Looking For
We Welcome Applications From:
- Qualified dietitians (HCPC registered or soon-to-be registered)
- Individuals passionate about improving outcomes for children and young people
- Team players keen to develop specialist paediatric skills
