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're proud to have a loyal client base and a varied caseload that allows cases to be worked up locally. We also work alongside visiting specialists, giving our team exposure to a wide range of cases:
- RATA Specialists providing Orthopaedics, Soft Tissue Surgery, Ophthalmology and Ultrasonography
- Insight Veterinary Specialists providing Ultrasonography support
Develop Your Career Your Way
We're passionate about helping our colleagues grow. Whether you have a particular clinical interest you'd like to pursue or you're considering a certificate, we'll support you every step of the way.
Certification is actively encouraged and fully funded, and you'll have access to guidance from both your practice colleagues and our experienced regional support team.
