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 must be able to work inclusively, flexibly and creatively to deliver effective pastoral, spiritual, existential, religious (if applicable) and ritual care within an acute Trust that is investing in its Chaplaincy service.

You will have an in-depth knowledge of spiritual/existential and pastoral care as well as an understanding and knowledge of other major belief & spirituality expressions/traditions, both religious and non-religious, outside of your own. Though you carry your own tradition, you will be a part of an inclusive Chaplaincy team that supports the whole Trust.
All Chaplains work inclusively within the Team, meaning you will be expected to visit any patient, regardless of tradition/belief. The Chaplains work closely with a variety of departments and staff within the Trust.
