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 act with integrity
- We embrace diversity
- We strive to do things better together
We are looking for caring, compassionate but also driven professionals who can help us drive our vision for a fair and inclusive healthcare access to all.
Our new Pharmacy Support Worker will have:
- No experience is necessary - we are looking for someone with a keen interest in Pharmacy, and keen to pursue a career in Pharmacy and Healthcare within a prison
- An NVQ Level 2 in Pharmacy Dispensing would be a bonus, but isn't essential
- Ideally have medicines handling experience, although not essential
- Have a proactive approach, with excellent communication skills
Secure environments are one of the most challenging, yet rewarding places for healthcare professionals to work.
