Job Opportunity in Unplanned Care Division
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, highly motivated, and experienced individual to work within our Unplanned Care Division.
We are looking for an individual who can demonstrate a positive attitude with an ability to develop and improve services in collaboration with clinical colleagues. The successful candidate will therefore have a track record of managing and leading teams in a complex and changing environment.
You will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the services, with particular reference to Elective recovery, Patient experience, Operational performance, and Budgetary Control. Experience of DM01, RTT and Cancer performance management is essential and applications would be particularly welcome from those candidates with previous experience within specialities that cover all the above metrics.
You should be able to work independently to identify and plan for service needs, in line with demand and under the supervision of department's Senior Service Managers.
In addition, you will lead an administrative team and will work in partnership with Consultants, Matron/Lead Nurses, Ward/Outpatient Managers, and medical staff to develop plans that focus on the continuous improvement of patient pathways.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
