You will attend handover with the district nurses and manage your domiciliary ulcer caseload.
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 have the opportunity to undertake nail surgery and will carry out new patient assessments.
You will undertake clinical audits as required by the service. You will also have the opportunity to become involved in Quality improvement projects.

This is a valuable opportunity for an experienced Band 5 to build on their existing knowledge and further develop their clinical skills.
