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.
Responsibilities of the post will include assessing new referrals from GPs and other referrers, including transfers from Home Treatment teams and internal transfers from other teams within the Trust, making an appropriate diagnosis, formulating management plans in the short term and long term. The CMHT works very much in a multi-disciplinary way. Doctors work closely with the other members of the CMHT (Resident Doctors, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, an excellent group of CPNs, OTs, psychologists and psychotherapists with various approaches, physical health practitioners, and dietician).
There are separate community teams for Older Adults and Assertive Outreach Teams. There is also a dedicated Home Treatment Team located nearby at the Zinnia Centre. Whilst this is a service post, the successful candidates’ career development will be strongly supported, looking to further training or a specialist interest.
