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.
Main duties of the job
The individual should possess the Specialist Diploma or equivalent and sufficient post-registration experience to undertake a specialist role within Microbiology.
The successful candidate will be expected to effectively communicate information, advice, instruction, and professional opinion to colleagues and Pathology Service users in both primary and secondary care.
