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.
We also have a visiting ophthalmologist and peripatetic surgeon for orthopaedic and advanced soft tissue surgeries, a visiting ultrasonographer and we have also recently started offering laparoscopic spays as part of our commitment to advanced surgical techniques.
Our culture
We are keen on sustainability and use low flow anaesthesia, segregated recycling, and fur clipping recycling (making mats to soak up oil spills). We have achieved outstanding Customer Service and Sustainability Practice Standard Awards and hold a Bronze accreditation in Sustainability with Investors in the Environment.
The role
We are looking for an experienced vet who feels confident with routine surgical and medical cases and who enjoys building strong relationships with patients, clients and the wider team.
We always encourage CPD and are happy to support study towards a Certificate. A keen interest in surgery or imaging would be welcomed but not essential.
The hours are flexible with both full and part time hours considered ideally, 3 to 4 days a week 9am-7pm and with just 1 in 4 Saturdays, 9am-5pm. However, if this isn’t quite what you’re looking for we would still love to hear from you.
