- Provide Link Worker support within a community hospital setting.
- Work flexibly across the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton.

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.
Requirements
- Ability to manage change.
- Maintain positive relationships with health partners and other agencies.
- Commitment to working in a person-centred way with clients, their families and carers to maintain and maximise their independence, whilst observing the tight timescales under the Care Act and current guidance.
- Flexibility, resilience, adaptability, and willingness to continuously learn and cascade new skills and knowledge.
