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.
In this role, you will apply your clinical knowledge and skills across a diverse range of presentations, delivering both individual and group-based interventions. You will work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, contribute to health promotion and education activities, and develop strong professional networks to support integrated care. The successful applicant will exercise independent professional judgement in routine clinical matters and undertake more complex or novel clinical tasks with professional supervision and support, which will decrease as expertise and experience develop.
This position offers an excellent opportunity to further develop your clinical skills across rehabilitation, aged care, chronic pain and community health settings while contributing to a service committed to evidence-based practice and person-centred care. You will also have opportunities to participate in supervision, mentoring and training activities, supporting the ongoing development of colleagues and students where required.
Note: A merit pool may be established from this recruitment process and will remain valid for 12 months. This pool may be used to fill similar roles and future vacant positions at the same level across CHS.
