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.
You will be passionate about providing a high standard of care for our service users. This is completed through high quality therapy and ensuring all parts of the system and its processes are effective and run efficiently. This includes providing supervision and line management along with supporting innovation and the setting up of new processes and ways of working as and when required.
We would particularly like to hear from you if you are qualified in a second modality in addition to CBT, such as IPT, EMDR or BCT. We would also value a qualification in NHS Talking Therapies Long Term Conditions.
Of course leadership skills are also essential to help problem solve with your team and motivate and encourage high standards of work in a rapidly changing and demanding Talking Therapies service.
