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.
- Exotic consults & surgery
- K-Laser courses
- Full orthopaedic sets
- Operating theatres and dental suite
- Separate ward spaces for cats, dogs and exotics
- A massive diagnostics department with digital X-ray, ultrasound, endoscopy and ECG machines
We are well supported by our RVNs and non-clinical team and our company directors still work hands on alongside yourself.
What sets us apart is culture.
There will be no talk of financial targets, strict consulting times or limited availability on drug choices. You are the vet and you will get the flexibility and autonomy to manage your own caseload how you see fit. So long as you put the patient first, and support the client the best way you can, you need not concern yourself with anything else.

You:
While we do offer new graduate L&D and EMS placements, this part time role would not be best practice if it is your first job. We are seeking a confident vet surgeon who has done some VetGDP advisory work, motivated to promote the best practice mentality and happy working in a mixed small animal role. Someone with a real drive for mentoring and a passion for high-quality veterinary services. We have availability for 3-days a week at the practice, and you would not need to commit to any of our weekend or OOH services.
