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.
The successful candidate will hold the appropriate qualifications to be a current registered practitioner (RGN or ODP) and demonstrate evidence of continuing professional development. You will be committed to delivering high-quality care with a desire to further develop your career within this rewarding specialty. You will need to have very good communication skills, be highly motivated, organised, and be able to work using your own initiative.
We are welcoming applications to the scrub team; experience preferred but not essential. Newly qualified staff will be supported with a 12-month preceptorship and in-house support from the education team and wider colleagues.
You will be required to work 37.5 hours, 4 days flexibly over 6 days (Monday to Saturday) with a commitment to out-of-hours on call.
