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.
Colleagues
- Work alongside passionate and supportive psychologists and psychological therapists, including Clinical Psychologists/Psychotherapists, Family Interventions Therapists, and Assistant and Trainee Psychologists.
- Be part of multidisciplinary teams, including Psychiatrists, Vocational and STaR workers, and Care Coordinators, and have an active role within the team.
Opportunities
- The teams have good links with other Lewisham adult mental health services and the other three SLAM Early Intervention teams, and therefore there are regular opportunities to link with clinical psychologists within and beyond other psychosis-related teams.
- The teams are well connected to the other community and acute services the borough provides.
- The sites have good transport links with London and surrounds, with dedicated or free street parking at both sites.
