- Supporting our vets and nurses with the day-to-day care of patients
- Helping keep pets comfortable during their time with us
- Maintaining high standards of cleanliness and hygiene throughout the practice

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’ll enjoy working as part of a team, be comfortable in a busy environment and understand that veterinary practice can sometimes be emotional as well as incredibly rewarding.
Previous animal care or veterinary experience would be beneficial, but above all, we’re looking for someone with enthusiasm, compassion and a genuine love of pets.
