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.
Join us and help shape the future of Elective Orthopaedic Theatres at Leicester General Hospital.
The successful candidate will need to be dynamic, hardworking, and enthusiastic, with a willingness to lead from the front.
