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.
Your impact
You will support:
- People with newly acquired spinal cord injuries who are not admitted into specialist services.
- Individuals with established SCI who return to hospital for treatment unrelated to their impairment.
Through telephone, email and in‑person visits, you will provide expert guidance, advocacy, and reassurance. You will help people navigate issues around treatment and care and you will work closely with hospital teams to ensure best practice standards are met, championing excellence every step of the way.
Share your expertise
A key part of your role will be educating and empowering healthcare professionals in non‑specialist settings. You will contribute to training and learning programmes through the SIA's Frank Williams Academy, helping to raise the standard of SCI awareness and care across the region.
