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 department is combined with Orthodontics, and opportunities to shadow are possible. A monthly joint Maxillofacial surgery-orthodontics clinic are also available to shadow.
We have visiting specialists in Special care dentistry who hold clinics that are available to shadow
For posts appointed as LAS, completion and submission of suitable logbook will count towards DCT equivalence.
