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.
Through the structured rotation plan you will be exposed to, and work within, a number of clinical areas, including:
- Medical wards
- Surgical wards
- Admissions wards
- Medicines Information
- Aseptic Production
- Palliative care
- Antimicrobial stewardship
- Inpatient and outpatient dispensary
The department works on an extended hours, seven day pharmacy service on a rostered basis, as well as providing an on-call service out of hours, which you will be involved in.
We have a fully integrated electronic prescribing and medication record system known as e-Care (Cerner Millennium), which is supporting the pharmacy department to improve and monitor the care that we deliver.
Generally Monday - Friday 08:30-17:00, but will include late, on-call and weekend shifts on a rostered basis.
