Veterinary Surgeon | 4 days per week | No on-call
Imagine a role where you know your clients by name, become the trusted vet for generations of pets, and still have your evenings back.
That’s exactly what we’re offering at Ickenham Veterinary Surgery.

- Morning consultations
- Routine surgery and procedures
- Time for admin and clinical follow-up
- Afternoon consultations
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.
And the best part? Your working day finishes at 5pm. Every day. That means more time for hobbies, family, exploring London or making the most of those summer evenings in a pub garden (because we all know those sunny evenings are precious! 🍻).
