About us:
We are seeking a Veterinary Surgeon to come and join our friendly and vibrant team at Warrington Riverside Vets for Pets. We're open to candidates at all stages of their career. Whether you're looking for your first opportunity or your next challenge, we'd be delighted to hear from you.
Warrington is based in the Northwest of England, in between the cities of Manchester and Liverpool, just a 30-minute drive from either, along the M62. This is ideal for those who love city exploring on their days off, but also the beaches of Formby, Crosby and North Wales are all under an hour away if you prefer outdoor exploring. Both cities also have international airports which is perfect for weekend get aways or longer breaks during annual leave. The practice itself is located with the Pets at Home store on Junction 9 retail park, to the North of Warrington and under 30 minutes’ walk from the local train station.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
